Police officers patrolling nearby arrived and warned him to put down the hammer, but the man ignored the warnings. Despite the police's warnings, he refused to put down the hammer and instead showed threatening behavior.

Eventually, the police blocked his escape route and subdued him with a Taser gun. It was reported that the man was booked without detention on charges of special property damage.
