Police arrest naked man on Iron Horse Trail

An East Bay Regional Parks police officer used an electric stun gun
to subdue a nude man on the Iron Horse Trail in Concord Sunday
afternoon, according to police.


The incident occurred about 4 p.m. on the trail just north of Monument Boulevard, said parks police Lt. Dave Dubowy.


The officer was on another call when a passerby reporting seeing the
man, who was standing beneath an overpass, not far from Highway 242,
according to police.


The man was not compliant and advanced toward the officer with
closed fists. The officer, who was by himself awaiting the arrival of
another officer, used the stun gun to subdue and detain the man, Dubowy
said.


Paramedics were called to treat and evaluate the man, who did not
appear to be seriously hurt. He was to be taken to a hospital before
being booked into County Jail in Martinez, Dubowy said.
