Pomona Police Officers responded to a Suicide by Cop incident this evening. The subject slit both his writs and set his home on fire. 
Pomona Police Officers were dispatched to the 1600 blk of S Huntington Ave. after receiving a 911 call from a subject advising, "Suicide by Cop" and quickly disconnecting from the operator. Within minutes of the initial call, several 911 calls were received from residents in the area advising of a house fire.
When officers arrived they were met in the middle of the street by the subject with injuries to both his wrists. That subject fled on foot, but was quickly and safely detained by officers.
LACFD responded and extinguished the house fire, treated the subject and transported him to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation.
The home sustained minimum damage and fortunately there were no injuries to local residents, involved officers or damage to neighboring homes.
