A naked man slammed a car into the pumps at a Clayton County gas station Tuesday morning starting a fire.

Police used a Taser to subdue the man and arrest him after he ran from the scene.

The suspect pulled up to the Race Trac at 7721 Tara Blvd. about 5:30 a.m. and began dancing naked on top of his car, witnesses said.

The naked man then climbed back into the car and rammed it into one of the pumps, sparking a fire, according to police. The suspect ran from the scene.

U.S. marshals who were in the area on an unrelated matter arrested the man after using a Taser on him.

Firefighters doused the fire before it spread to the other gas pumps.
