They met with the woman and she said that her neighbor had come to her door nude and attacked her, hitting her neck and kicking her.

Police found the neighbor, still nude and holding his genitals, in his apartment. When asked if he had had a fight with his neighbor, he began screaming at the officers. He threw items at them and then attacked the police with his fists. The police report described the suspect as very large and strong. Police attempted to subdue him with pepper spray, to no avail. He allegedly punched one officer in the chest several times; the officers tried to grapple with him but could not hold on to the suspect because he was sweaty and remained nude. The suspect then dragged all three officers from his apartment and pinned two of them to the third-floor railing. The remaining officer administered a "carotid restraint" from behind, and they were finally able to handcuff the suspect, who made no more attempts to attack the officers.
