Police arrested and brought down a man with a Taser after he was injuring himself and bicycling through traffic on Nimitz Highway Tuesday morning, authorities said.

A homeless man got into a domestic argument in the Sand Island area, police said.

Then he was seen hurting himself with a sharpened file tool and bicycling in and out of traffic on Nimitz Highway, according to police.

A group of police surrounded the man and stunned him with a Taser, authorities said.

He was not seriously injured, according to police. Paramedics treated the man and took him to Queen's Medical Center in good condition, officials said.

In February, the Honolulu Police Department added video cameras to its Tasers. Officers are now analyzing the video, HPD officials said.
