According to the Alhambra police department, officers transported the man to a hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Due to the fact that the man showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol, a blood sample was obtained in order to be presented to the LA District Attorney’s Office for review on possible DUI charges, police said.
An officer was also taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation, but has since been released.
