Stopped in a flash: US police Taser naked jogger

A nude jogger was chased and Tasered by US police after refusing to stop when they spotted him.

Zak Anthony King, 18, was pursued down Hollywood Boulevard in West Melbourne, Florida, wearing only a pair of swimming goggles.

When he did not halt an officer Tasered him, bringing him crashing to the ground. Police cameras captured the chase. One officer can be heard saying: "I'm like, Don't run, I'm gonna Tase you, stay down!' So what does he do? He just keeps running."

Mr King suffered minor injuries. He told officers he had "previously unknown superpowers".

Commander Steve Wilkinson of West Melbourne police said: "He was buck-naked and didn't even have shoes on. We suspect he was under the influence. He was a little incoherent, but also very nice and apologetic." King is due in court on November 9 charged with indecent exposure and resisting arrest.
