In a Facebook post, Waco police said that the man was hit with a Taser several times and eventually restrained. He had refused to cooperate with officers, according to the department's account.
Officials said the man was taken to a hospital after the incident. They believe he suffers from mental-health issues.
The man could face charges of trespassing, attempted theft, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.
