Police deployed a Taser, but missed their target. Officers and the suspect then got into a physical confrontation before the man was taken into custody.
One officer suffered minor injuries but did not require medical treatment.
The suspect appeared before a justice of the peace later the same day.
The use of the Taser is being reviewed under Saskatoon Police Service policy.
