Naked Man Survives Police Taser, Hospitalized in Pennsylvania Suburb

Police are asking for help identifying a man hospitalized after they say he ran naked through a Pittsburgh suburb.

They say the man in his late teens or early 20s wore only socks Monday night as he threw himself off cars and homes, withstood Taser shocks, fought with officers and rolled down an embankment.

Officers eventually subdued the man and he was transported via helicopter to UPMC Presbyterian hospital.

Shaler Township police say the man appeared to be under the influence.
