Authorities say a man found running naked along a busy highway in Tampa has died after officers tried to subdue him.
Officers were called to Dale Mabry Highway in that Florida city early Wednesday after receiving reports of a man seen jumping on cars and acting irrationally. At one point, the man hit his head on the windshield of a silver car so forcefully that it cracked. The man began bleeding.
As officers tried to subdue him, he kept kicking and fighting, according to police. He was then taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead a short time later.
Police spokesman Stephen Hegarty says authorities would investigate, including whether the man was under the influence of some mind-altering substance.
The man's identity hasn't been released.
