Police fire Taser, subdue man at fire

Police shot a man with a Taser after he rushed at a burning house and blasted officers with a fire hose in Laurel on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said. When two officers warned the man that he was too close to the one-story house in the 300 block of Park Hall South, he grew "belligerent" and started yelling, said Anne Arundel County police spokesman Justin Mulcahy. The man grabbed a fire hose and doused the officers with water. One of the officers wrestled the hose away from him, and the man attacked the officer, Mulcahy said. The other officer fired a Taser to subdue the man, Mulcahy said. Police did not release the man's name. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
