A Los Angeles International Airport police officer was killed Friday after a pedestrian commandeered his patrol car and dragged him down the road, over a curb and into a fire hydrant.

Authorities allege that 46-year-old William Sadowski, a transient known to live in Venice, crashed the cruiser and then hijacked a passing SUV, which he maneuvered over a security gate and onto airport property.

Officer Tommy Scott's death is the first in the 59-year history of the close-knit airport Police Department, which patrols the sprawling facility. Colleagues described Scott as a friendly person who relished helping passengers navigate the airport.

"He always had a smile," said Officer Dennis Lau, who works in the force's dignitary protection unit. "He always had something good to say."



The incident occurred about 11 a.m. near the corner of McConnell Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard.

Authorities are unclear exactly how the suspect and Scott, 35, came to scuffle. But authorities believe that Sadowski got control of the patrol car and that Scott grabbed the driver's side of the cruiser to try to stop him.
