A naked Florida man leapt from a rooftop and then bit a chunk of flesh from a man's stomach early Saturday, police say.
St. Augustine police say they were called at 4:30 a.m. when a man was spotted destroying lawn furniture. He then allegedly climbed on a roof and jumped on the hood of a truck. Police said two residents at the house awoke to investigate but the man tackled them and bit one of them in the stomach as they held him for police.
It took five officers and several Taser zaps to subdue the man, and three officers were kicked or bit during the arrest, police said.
The officers and one of the residents were treated for minor injuries.
Jeremiah Haughee, 22, is charged with five counts of battery, burglary and criminal mischief, according to jail records. He was released on $32,000 bail Sunday.
Police said there was no indication early in the investigation the man was on drugs during the alleged attacks.
