Earlier Thursday, police observed a man yelling and wildly waving his arms and fists at people while they were visiting Old Sacramento.

When an officer attempted to talk to the subject, he immediately became confrontational and repeatedly punched the officer in his face and body, police said.

The officer and subject wrestled on the ground until additional units arrived on scene to assist in taking the man into custody.

Paul McDonald, 45, was arrested for felony assault on an officer.
