Road rage at the strip club

Accident A bizarre incident overnight in the Valley reads like a scene out of "The Sopranos":

A man crashed a van into a North Hills strip club today, then led police on a chase -- injuring two LAPD officers by intentionally backing into their squad cars -- before he was arrested, authorities said. The van slammed into the structure housing the Valley Ball Cabaret at 8532 Sepulveda Blvd. at 12:39 a.m., said a public service representative at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Mission Station. The suspect then unsuccessfully attempted to run over pedestrians and patrons of the cabaret, said Sgt. Kim Kempton of the Mission Station. His motive was not immediately clear. (CNS)
