A foot pursuit in Warren, Ohio, ended with a man being hit with a stun gun, tackled and detained inside a daycare center playpen with children inside of it.

The suspect dipped into a daycare center, extending his finger and threatening to shoot officers in the process, according to police.
Police quickly entered the building, where the chase continued on foot after a missed taser attempt, heading into a classroom where the man jumped into a playpen with several children.
