Pantsless man terrorized people with whisky bottle

Los Angeles Police responded to a report that a man without pants, and a bottle of whisky in one hand, was chasing people around.

The incident happened around the celeb hotspots of The Ivy restaurant, Kitson and Newsroom Cafe.



From the LAPD dispatch audio, it sounds like the incident was centred around the Intermix store.

His pants had been up and down, and at one point he was chasing a terrified woman with a stroller. He later threw the whisky bottle at someone, and when it broke, started threatening people. LAPD upgraded the call to an assault with deadly weapon as a result.



One witness told LAPD that he or someone else was attempting to tackle the man.

Another said he was trying to break in to the Intermix store, which had locked the front door and startled shoppers watched from inside. LAPD officers just took the man into custody at about 5:15pm.
