Man bangs head on police car following arrest on State Street, MPD says

An 18-year-old man banged his head on a police car after being arrested on State Street Wednesday afternoon, according to a Madison police incident report.

The suspect, who had a warrant out for his arrest in Rock County for possession of drug paraphernalia, was spotted on State Street by a police officer who knew him from previous encounters.

The suspect seemed cooperative until police tried to handcuff him. He attempted to run, but police grabbed his jacket and pulled him to the ground. After police successfully handcuffed him, he banged his head on the hood of the police car. Neither the suspect or police sustained any injuries and the suspect was taken to jail on the charge of resisting police as well as the Rock County Warrant.
