Police are in pursuit of a kidnapping suspect on Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department began the chase but handed it off to the California Highway Patrol. Officers believe the kids are in the stolen car.

The man continued to evade police until crashing into another vehicle at the intersection of PCH and Kanan Dume Road in Point Dume. He ditched the car and ran away from the collision, leaving the children behind.

Several officers and firefighters tended to the children at the crash site while the suspect ran into the nearby neighborhoods.

The man, who was barefoot, ran through the surrounding fields and climbed a barbed-wire fence, removing some of his clothing along the way.
