The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority says its police chief stunned a man in Philadelphia while responding to reports of a large brawl.
SEPTA spokeswoman Carla Showell-Lee tells the Philadelphia Inquirer Chief Thomas Nestel III stunned a suspect Wednesday afternoon.
SEPTA says a melee broke out when residents tried to hold a drunken driver who had hit several parked cars and his passenger.
Showell-Lee says Nestel stunned the passenger when he lunged at another responding officer, who was trying to arrest the driver.
The passenger was taken to a hospital for evaluation. The driver was taken into custody.
SEPTA says the stunning was warranted.
City police say they didn't immediately have any information on the incident.
