Arriving officers determined a man at the businesss, Mitchell Peterson, was under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, and took him into custody, police said.
While being escorted to a patrol vehicle, Peterson broke free of the officer's grip and ran down San Anselmo Avenue, according to police.
After chasing Peterson for about two blocks, an officer used the Taser gun to end the pursuit, causing Peterson to fall to the ground, police said.
