BREMERTON
A 40-year-old Bremerton man believed to be under the influence of narcotics Wednesday morning allegedly punched both a bystander and an officer before his arrest, according to Bremerton police reports.
The shirtless man was reportedly exhibiting "different karate style stances randomly" near the corner of 11th Street and Highland Avenue when a 49-year-old man tried to walk by him, police said.
"Excuse me," the man told the 40-year-old, who in turn told him, "Oh, excuse me," and then allegedly proceeded to punch the 49-year-old in the face and attacked him on the ground.
The 49-year-old was able to run off and a neighbor called 911. When police arrived, the suspect was holding a cigarette. An officer, who grabbed the 40-year-old's arm, told him: "You won't need that cigarette. You're under arrest," reports said.
The man then allegedly punched him in the face, too.
After a brief foot chase, an officer shot his Taser into the man's bare back and he went to the ground. He was taken to the Kitsap County jail on suspicion of assaulting the 49-year-old as well as the officer.
Congratulations, Karate Man. Welcome to the Honorary Chaud Club.
