man suspected of attempted kidnapping was captured Tuesday after a freeway chase and standoff that ended when sheriff's deputies tossed a grenade into his van and a police dog dragged him from the smoke-filled vehicle.
A member of a Los Angeles County SWAT team (search) used a long pole to shove a "flash-bang" grenade through a rear window. Television reports showed a burst of light as the device exploded, and smoke filling the minivan.
The driver's door then opened, and the police dog rushed in, grabbing the man, tearing his shirt and dragging him from the seat onto the pavement. The siege ended shortly after 3 p.m.
There was no immediate word on the suspect's condition. His name was not immediately released.
