LAPD takes down Reseda arson suspect at scene — and photographers were right there - LA Daily News

RESEDA — Firefighters knocked down a fire Saturday inside a room of a Reseda house that spread to part of the attic, and police arrested an armed suspect who returned to the scene of the blaze — and news photographers who were there for the fire captured images of the suspect takedown.

The fire was reported at 7:04 p.m. Saturday inside a home on the 19000 block of Gault Street, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.

The department sent 34 firefighters to the scene and put out the flames in about 15 minutes, Humphrey said.

The fire started in one room of the 1,684-square-foot home, then spread to a small portion of the attic, he said.

No injuries were reported, Humphrey said. The fire appeared suspicious and police officers later arrested a suspect, Humphrey said.

Los Angeles police officers took down and arrested a man who was armed with a knife on his belt. A news photographer captured images of officers tackling the man and securing the knife as they took him into custody.

No further information was available.
