Naked Man Tased by Portland Police
July 5, 2012, 2:50 pm
A man was tased twice by Portland Police after running naked in
Southeast Portland. Witnesses say the man was wearing a hospital gown
and looking distraught while inside the
America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses
store at Mall 205. Police were called and they convinced the man to
leave the store. Witnesses say that's when he dropped his gown and took
off. Two police officers chased the man and tased him on the corner of
I-205 and Stark. The man started banging on a car window and was able
to get up and keep running, even after the shock. That's when police
tased him a second time. His name hasn't been released. Traffic in the
area was interrupted during the commotion.
