LAPD arrests man who allegedly shot at police helicopter while filming on video

A police standoff in Los Angeles showed a man allegedly shooting at an LAPD helicopter… and TMZ obtained the crazy video of the man firing bullets into the air!

In the footage, a man dressed in black is seen walking menacingly through the front yard of a home on West 76th Street… brandishing a gun as the sound of a police helicopter circles overhead.

The man suddenly points the gun at the sky and fires several bullets as onlookers notice that he is shooting at a helicopter.

LAPD says the man shot at one of their helicopters and he was eventually arrested with the help of a police K-9 unit.

Police say they were originally called to the South LA neighborhood for reports of a man with a gun threatening family members.
