Taser used on man smeared with faeces

Police have used a stun gun to subdue a man who smeared himself with faeces and blood after being thrown out of a Gold Coast nightclub.

Officers were called after a security guard was assaulted by a man who had been evicted from the club in Orchid Avenue, Surfers Paradise, around 3.30am.

By the time officers arrived, the man had undressed himself and covered his entire body in faeces and blood.

When he refused to co-operate with police, officers used a Taser weapon, which delivers a short-lived electric shock, to subdue him.

A 34-year-old Brisbane man, charged with bodily harm and obstructing police, is due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on August 27.
