Naked runner Tasered by police
A runner who was wearing only swimming goggles was shot in the posterior by police chasing him from behind with a Taser.
Zak Anthony King, 18, refused to stop when ordered to do so by police who spotted him on his liberal morning run.
When he began to outpace the sweating officers in West Melbourne, Florida, one threatened him with the Taser, which delivers an electric shock powerful enough to temporarily paralyse.
Within a fraction of a second of the barbs hitting his bottom, Mr King collapsed and was arrested, while cameras in a police car and on the immobiliser captured the moment.
The cameras also recorded sound and one officer can be heard reliving the incident only moments before, saying: "I'm like, 'Don't run, I'm gonna Tase you!' So what does he do? He just keeps running."
Mr King is suspected to have been drunk. He told the officers he had "super powers".
A second police officers reported in the Daily Mirror said: "We suspect he'd had a drink or two."
He now faces charges of indecent exposure and resisting arrest.
