Excerpts:

'In one arm, she held a 4-month-old infant. The other hand wielded a knife.

As traffic sped by on 7th Street just west of Hope Street early Tuesday, several Los Angeles police officers surrounded Malika Johnson, 33, but the volatile nature of the situation demanded calm.'

...

'Johnson was booked on suspicion of child endangerment -- her fourth arrest for the same offense since 2004, said LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon.'
