New York man dies after police subdue him with stun gun
NEW YORK — A 49-year-old emotionally disturbed man brandishing a glass bottle died after he was subdued by an officer with a stun gun, New York police said.
The confrontation happened at a home in the Bronx at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday while officers were responding to a neighbour’s call saying the man was menacing her and acting violently.
When three police officers confronted the man, police said he threatened them with the bottle. A sergeant then discharged his stun gun. The man kept struggling with the officers and the sergeant used his stun gun a second time, police said.
While in custody, police said the man went into cardiac arrest and CPR was administered. He was then taken to a hospital, where he died.
