A man in Los Angeles tried to stop a moving fire engine, only to be chased off by the firefighters inside — but the crazy situation didn’t end there … it got even crazier, TMZ has learned.
This footage is making the rounds online, and for good reason… it’s absolutely insane. Last weekend a stranger tried to derail an LA County fire engine in South Central, which we’re told was headed for a car accident just up the block.
Watch the clip… you’ll see the man suddenly appear on the road from nowhere and jump onto the giant moving vehicle – and then, he starts reaching inside.
The fire truck backs up — apparently in an attempt to shake the man off — but he holds on tight to it … and it looks like he’s trying to grab the firefighters inside. Eventually, two firefighters jump out and push the man off … chasing him for a bit before he runs off.
The video ends there … but law enforcement sources tell us the story isn’t over yet. We’re told that after the man left, he actually came back again … and climbed onto the engine a second time. Our sources say the fire truck then backed up even further.

Our sources say the man held on tight and kept running past the firefighters who were inside, and eventually the police arrived … who we’re told had to get this guy down by force. When he finally got down, he was handcuffed and taken to jail, according to our sources.
We’re told the man is now charged with one count of obstructing firefighters or emergency rescuers, as well as one count of aggravated assault.
In reference to the actual car accident that this fire truck was responding to… we’re told they had to send a separate unit to take care of it because this guy was disrupting the whole thing.
Just another day in the city of angels!
