A 38-year-old man was Tasered this morning after he allegedly threatened to assault people with a metal pole, then swung the pole at Saskatoon police when they arrived to stop him.

Police used a Taser on the man, but it didn't work to stop him. They then physically wrestled him to the ground to arrest him.

It all happened at a building on the 300 block of Avenue C S., just after 8 a.m. CST this morning.

The man was first taken to hospital to treat injuries unrelated to the Taser or being wrestled to the ground, according to a release from Saskatoon police.

The Taser usage will be reviewed by the police service, as per standard policy when such a weapon is used by police.

The 38-year-old man is facing charges.
