Naked 21-stone bodybuilder 'shot twice with stun gun and held down by four officers after savage attack on married couple'



A 21-stone bodybuilder has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly savagely beat a couple as they returned to their home from a night out.

Ruben Arzu, 22, who weighs over 300lbs, was apparently under the influence of steroids and it took four police officers, two stun gun blasts and four sets of handcuffs to restrain him after the attack in Colton, California.

Neighbours said the powerfully built man did not respond after he was shot twice with a Taser and continued to try and fight with officers.

Neighbours then surrounded Arzu as he tried to flee the scene before officers arrived.

Chuck Walsh, who lives nearby, told ktla.com: 'I don't know if he was high on something or what, but he stood up against two officers and they tased him and it didn't even affect him.'

The two victims were taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for treatment and are both in a stable condition.
