University police arrested a man for disruptive behavior in Sellery Hall following a call reporting the man was knocking on various dorm room doors around 4:20 p.m. Monday, University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department spokesperson Marc Lovicott said.
Once police arrived on the scene, the man in question refused to cooperate and resisted being taken into custody, Lovicott said. He was eventually seized, but not before an altercation with an officer, which resulted in the use of a Taser against the perpetrator, according to a UWPD news release.
Both the offender and the UWPD officer, who sustained a hand injury as a result of the confrontation, were taken to a local hospital for evaluation, Lovicott said. The officer is expected to make a full recovery.
Students were not in danger at any point during the incident, Lovicott said.
The investigation is ongoing, and the man’s identity and cause of the incident remain unknown.
