Saskatoon police Tasered a woman Wednesday morning after she allegedly used a rock to break windows at a business, then started harming herself.
Patrol officers who arrived in the 500-block of 33rd Street East just after 7:15 a.m. CT found a woman in possession of a number of needles near the business.
They believed she was under the influence of an intoxicant and unsuccessfully used a Taser when she became combative.
