American Olympic medallist and former world champion sprinter Fred Kerley was tased and then arrested in Miami Beach following a clash on Thursday, the police department said.

Kerley, bronze medallist in the 100m at the Paris Olympics last year and silver medalist in Tokyo, was involved in a scuffle with police and was tased by them after trying to force his way into an active investigation scene.

The 29-year-old had approached the scene in South Beach to ask about his car which was parked nearby the scene and police said he showed an “aggressive demeanor” and ignored orders to back away before a scuffle involving several officers.
