A half-naked knife-wielding man who chased a Miami police officer in Little Havana over the weekend died a day after being shot by Taser stun guns.
State agents are now investigating the death of 52-year-old Maximo Rabasa, who had a history of psychiatric problems.
The confrontation unfolded Saturday night when a Miami police officer saw Rabasa — clad only in boxer shorts — wielding a knife on the street near Southwest 22nd Avenue and First Street.

Who hasn’t found themselves downtown dressed only in boxer shorts on a Saturday night wielding a knife?
A must do for the bucket list.
If you’re going to go after a cop, be sure that it’s the last thing on the list.
Electrifying...and I’m shocked.
Maybe he was trying to re-volt and didn’t know watt he was doing, until the surge arced to his cpu and derez’d him...
That post cut me up.
“officers used their taser stun guns multiple times in the scuffle”
Troublesome for the police, after the victim died:
“Hey Bob,watch this—I can make him sit up ... zzzzzzzt!
“That’s nothing. I can make him *stand* up! Zzzzzzzzzzzt.”
“Look guys, he’s dancing!” Zzzzzzzzzzt zzzzzzzzzzzzt
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt
Never bring a knife to a Taser stun gun fight.
