A man died today after Chicago police shot him with a taser gun when he approached officers with "a sharp-edged object" during a confrontation on the West Side, police said.
Police said the man also had ingested drugs just prior to the confrontation, which may have contributed to the death.
About 2 p.m., officers on bike patrol were in the area of North Leclaire Avenue and West Washington Boulevard when they saw a man, believed to be in his 30s, who appeared erratic and drinking from an open bottle, police said.
As police approached the man, he fled and a chase began.
