A young man has faced court hours after an alleged late-night violent rampage which ended in police Tasering him twice while he was naked.
Bizarre footage filmed by shocked bystanders shows Puhi Clark, 23, in his birthday suit wearing nothing just socks while surrounded by police in Perth’s busy nightclub precinct in Northbridge on Saturday night.
Dozens of stunned revellers watched on as Clark allegedly attempted to open the door of a stationary Uber and enter the vehicle while the driver was still inside.
Footage showed Clark on top of the driver, grabbing the steering wheel with both hands while surrounded by police and bystanders attempting to drag him out of the rideshare vehicle to detain him, Seven News Perth reported.
Clark is heard shrieking in pain after he was Tasered.
He’s also accused of earlier assaulting a female police officer.
A male officer fired their Taser at him before Clark allegedly struck his female colleague in the head and face, who suffered minor injuries.
