Two police officers used a taser to restrain a man near the Capitol for allegedly punching both of them and a teenager Friday afternoon, according to a Madison Police Department report.
The report shows police arrested 20-year-old Guillermo Martinez for assaulting two police officers, robbery, physical abuse to a child along with several other less severe charges following a fight, which transpired when the suspect tried to steal a 15-year-old student’s Chicago Bulls hat.
The student was on the 100 block of State Street during a class field trip when Martinez attacked him at approximately 12:37 p.m., according to the report.
Witnesses alerted Madison Police of the incident and the suspect’s whereabouts after they saw him flee into a Madison Area Technical College building, the report said. Police used a taser when the suspect violently resisted arrest.
