A 28-year-old man wanted by the police was arrested on Friday (Aug 21), but only after a public altercation in Esplanade Drive, where he managed to wrangle free of the officers after being tasered, and sparked a chase.
The police said officers had noticed the man, who had an outstanding warrant of arrest, walking around “aimlessly and in a dangerous manner” in Esplanade Drive at around 10.30am on Friday.
When officers approached him, the man was “uncooperative and incoherent”, said the police in a statement on Friday evening.
Police officers attempted to get him off the road and onto the median for his safety, but he became belligerent and resisted the attempts to pull him to safety, said the police.
He continued to be aggressive despite repeated reminders to comply with the officers’ instructions, and charged at one of them, police added.
An officer used a taser to subdue the man, who fell to the ground and clutched his chest. But in a video shot from an office window across the road, he is seen recovering within seconds and getting to his feet.
