LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KNBC) - Several airships, including a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter, were targeted Saturday with a green laser.
An NBC chopper captured one of the attacks on video.
After the LAPD airship was hit with the laser, officers on the ground approached an apartment building where the laser was coming from. Police say they were unable to determine the exact apartment where the laser was coming from.
Aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft is a felony offense and carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, according to the FBI.
Lasers can blind pilots and could cause an accident.
Police say their investigation is ongoing.
