A NAKED man had to be tasered to subdue him after he ran through the streets of West End this morning before attacking a policewoman.

Police received several calls reporting a nude man on a bicycle who then crashed into a car before running around and yelling in the middle of the Boundary Street at about 8:55am.

A witness said traffic was brought to a halt as the man ran out onto the road.

At 9:20am the man was apprehended by police on Melbourne Street.

It is alleged the man had to be subdued by a Taser after he assaulted a female police officer.

One witness told the ABC she saw the man taking off all his clothes and yelling, before riding a bicycle into a car.

“Quite surprising, quite disruptive and it was quite confronting as well,” she said.

“It’s not something you see every day getting coffee.”

The officer was taken to Mater Private Hospital but the extend of her injuries is unknown at this stage.

The man is currently assisting police.
