Philadelphia Area Man Receives Stun Gun Shot As He Flees Police

A 23 year old man was arrested with the aid of a stun gun after a fight in a Philadelphia area bar.

A fight broke out in the bar’s men’s restroom after the man allegedly attacked another man at around 1:20 am. The man allegedly grabbed another patron from behind, forcibly turned him around and immediately punched him in the face.

The fight grew when the alleged victim’s friends came to his rescue and fended off the attacker. The man denies starting the fight and says, instead, that the alleged victim and his friends had targeted him because they didn’t like him.

In the bar’s parking lot, police questioned witnesses about the incident. During that time, the alleged attacker attempted to escape by running away from the area. A police officer used a stun gun on the man but was unable to stop him from fleeing. The man ran across 6 lanes of traffic on Easton Road. The police officers continued their pursuit until they tackled the man and then used the stun gun again when he continued to struggle.

Subdued enough to arrest, the man still continued to cry out and bang his head against the patrol car. The man eventually went into seizures at the police station and was taken to a local hospital and currently reported to be in fair condition.

He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment, harassment and simple assault. The assault charge is a felony. The man’s bail was set at $100,000.
