An angry naked martial arts expert took on four policemen in a street fight, wresting one of their batons away and withstanding two Taserings before being finally subdued, in New York state on Sunday.
'It was sort of a police officer's worst nightmare,' commented local Police Chief Louis Alagno
The naked incident started on Sunday evening, when a naked man, later identified as 28-year-old Peter Lu, started banging on a woman's door in Chappaqua, New York for no apparent reason.
The woman called police – but when Officer Frank Cavallaro arrived at the aptly named Hardscrabble Road, Lu charged at him, nakedly. Cavallaro responded by Tasering him.
By this point, Lu was on the ground, still naked. Cavallaro ordered him to put his hands behind his back, so he could be handcuffed, but Lu refused. More Tasering ensued – but rather than subduing Lu, this seemed only to enrage him.
He fought back at Cavallaro, disabling the Taser by knocking the cartridge out of his hand, and then disarming the officer of his baton when he tried to swing that.

Tased Naked - great garage band name...
LEOs have a tough job.
Peter Lu naked? Must resist Chinese men and size jokes.:)
LOL!
You think the author was excited?
What's with the "still naked" line, are we supposed to think that maybe he got tased, then whipped out a pair of shorts?
“He fought back at Cavallaro, disabling the Taser by knocking the cartridge out of his hand, and then disarming the officer of his baton when he tried to swing that.”
That’s one dumb and lucky cop - he could be dead right now.
Sounds like soy sauce overdose.
Hillary’s neighbors?......
What? Did Bill come home earlier than expected?
the Battle of Peter Lu
This is from a UK website and the reference is to the Peterloo Massacre -- an urban riot put down by the Duke of Wellington, hero of Waterloo. But, since many in the UK don't even believe Winston Churchill existed, I can't imagine too many British readers caught the reference to an early nineteenth century scrimmage.
All they needed to do was Tase the man in the correct spot to take him down. Just need a good aim to elimimate the DNA from the genetic pool forever...
When taking on naked martial artistes — Ready the inflatable Robo-Barney!
Now name is Peter Sho King........
“By this point, Lu was on the ground, still naked.”
Why would the reporter think that being tasere would influence the state of his undress....
How crude and lewd!
Tasing does many things to you but it never clothes you.
Don’t tase me no mo’, bro.
oh, of a certainty, this is not a ping!
I wonder which part is more of the officer's nightmare: that the guy knows martial arts...or that he's naked and they are probably going to have to come in contact with his "junk" while trying to wrestle him down.
Perhaps it is something you taser-poofs don't see much more: testosterone.
