Saturday night around 10:45, Battlefords RCMP received a complaint from a business on Railway Avenue East of a man displaying erratic behaviour, exposing himself to the staff and removing most of his clothes.
When officers arrived to take the man into custody, the man refused and fought with the officers on scene.
A taser was then deployed allowing officers to take the man into custody without any further risk of harm to the officers or the suspect.
EMS responded and the suspect was taken to hospital for treatment and further observation.
A 44 year old man from Sherwood Park, Alberta faces multiple charges including committing an indecent act and assault.
