A man who legally changed his name to Beezow Doo-doo Zopittybop-bop-bop has been arrested after being accused of attacking two police officers.

The 34 year old is charged with two counts of assault, harassment and mischief for an alleged attack on police at Evergreen State College in Washington state on Monday.

He was arrested for the first time in 2012 and became a household name when news readers struggled to pronounce his moniker and it was poked fun at by late night comedy shows.

In his latest arrest at the weekend, he was allegedly caught tearing down fliers from the entrance to the library at the college in Washington.

According to the Olympian, he was then chased by the police but when they caught up with him he bit one officer's finger and tried to stab him with a pen.

Court documents say he also tried to take another officer's gun and was eventually tasered but he got up and fled the scene.

More officers joined the hunt for him, and he was eventually arrested and is being held on a $50,000 bail.

However, in court documents, officials opted to use the name he was born with, and he was referred to as Jeffrey Drew Wilschke, throughout.

It is the third time in four years that Zopittybop-bop-bop has been arrested.

In 2013, he was arrested on drug possession charges in Iowa while a year earlier he also faced drug charges after being detained in Wisconsin.

In an interview in 2012, he talked about why he changed his name, saying that he wanted something 'more fitting' for himself.

He explained that his first name represents 'the explosion of awareness of the interconnectedness of the infinite love in the universe' and that Doo-doo 'is the struggle of our daily lives with that awareness, that with love comes chaos.'

His last name, Zopittybop-bop-bop 'is the outcome of that struggle, which is often ironic, especially because all life ends in death.'

A diagnosed schizophrenic, he has been in and out of the mental health system.
