Man Detained After Running Onto Highway 50 In Sacramento

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Officers say a man ran onto Highway 50 in Sacramento Friday morning and had to be detained.

California Highway Patrol says, just before 8:30 a.m., they started getting calls about a pedestrian on the westbound side of the freeway near the Interstate 5 interchange. The man was reportedly running between lanes of traffic and even reportedly jumped on a car.

Officers got to the scene and found the man to be non-compliant. CHP says a stun gun was deployed, but it didn’t have any effect on the man.

Eventually, the man left the freeway and was detained by Sacramento police officers at 15^th and X streets.

The man has since been taken into custody and was placed on a 51/50 hold, CHP says.
