Chicago police tasered a naked man who jumped atop a Mercedes Benz and planted his buttocks through its windshield outside the North Coast Music Festival on Saturday night.
The 22-year-old from Massachusetts was intoxicated or high on a hallucinogenic drug at the time, police said.
Two people called 911 from Ogden Avenue near Randolph Street about 8:10 p.m. - one to report a naked man who broke a windshield, and the other to report a naked man jumping on top of cars. Officers arrived to find the man without clothing, sitting in a puddle on the ground. He was acting erratically and did not comply with commands, police said.
After breaking the windshield and getting tasered, he was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for observation and to get shards of glass removed from his buttocks.
Charges of criminal damage to property are pending against the man.
The North Coast Music Festival draws thousands of people to Union Park on the near west side and this year features performances from dozens of acts, including Nas, the Wu Tang Clan, and Mac Miller.
