Saskatoon police used a Taser on a man who was trying to flee from officers in the backyard of a Sutherland home on Saturday morning.
A complaint was received by police at around 10 a.m. CT from the 300-block of 109th Street West.
Officers arriving on the scene confronted the man. As he attempted to climb over a fence to enter another yard, a police dog bit him.
Police said the man continued to fight and a Taser was used to subdue him. Once in custody, he was found to be in possession of a loaded gun.
The man was taken to Royal University Hospital for treatment before being taken to police detention.
He is facing several charges, including firearm offences.
