Model and actor Chris Zylka was involved in a chaotic, bloody encounter with police last week during an arrest, bodycam footage shows.
Police identified Zylka after a report of a man with pajama pants and no shirt or shoes in freezing temps attempting to get into a vehicle with a gun in a Cleveland suburb at 4:45 pm on Dec. 4, local station WKBN first reported.
The ex-fiancee of Paris Hilton was allegedly found jumping around in traffic in the middle of an intersection — where he then allegedly tried to break into a woman’s car through a window.
Upon responding to the scene, Zylka pointed a cell phone at cops and began foaming at the mouth, appearing to be under the influence of drugs, according to a police report.
After getting him to his knees, footage shows Zylka resisting and fighting officers. Then, one officer accidentally tased a detective instead of Zylka during the chaotic brawl.
The tased detective then used his taser on Zylka twice in his leg, but the actor appeared unphased. Zylka was arrested after a third detective managed to wrangle and cuff him, according to the footage.
A bloody-nosed, incoherent Zylka can then be seen getting strapped into an ambulance by paramedics.
Zylka is now facing felony charges of assault and attempt to commit an offense plus misdemeanor disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and aggravated menacing.
