A driver ran across freeway lanes and hopped over a concrete barrier before he was arrested Thursday night at the end of a wrong-way pursuit in Los Angeles. 

The pursuit began on the 101 Freeway in Hollywood, where authorities received reports of a driver traveling south in northbound lanes. The car with at least one damaged tire transitioned to the 10 Freeway and came to a stop near Atlantic Boulevard. 

The driver appeared to be surrendering before he sprinted across lanes toward the freeway exit ramp, hopping over a concrete barrier. He was eventually taken into custody on Atlantic Boulevard.
