A 44-year-old Saskatoon man is in custody and faces numerous charges, including theft and assault of an officer, following a confrontation with police Saturday.
The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) received a call from two downtown convenience stores at about 6:30 p.m. for a report of a man stealing and threatening staff.
Police say the responding officers spotted the suspect on 3rd Avenue South, where a short pursuit took place on foot.
Officers say the man became aggressive, forcing one officer to use his Taser on the suspect.
