A Lincoln officer was assaulted while responding to a call about a naked man holding a Bible and shouting in the middle of the street near Southwest 12th and A streets late Sunday.

When officers arrived, the 31-year-old man began yelling obscenities at them, police said Monday.

When they tried to arrest him, he dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups, police said. At one point, they said, he slapped one of the officers.

The man was taken to a local hospital before being booked into jail on suspicion of assault on an officer, indecent exposure and disturbing the peace.
