Garrido said an officer was in the area and responded to the scene. As soon as the officer stopped, the naked man jumped on the police vehicle.
The office then slowly drove into a nearby parking lot of a car dealership before calling for backup.
"He gets on the radio and advises dispatch and the responding units as well as the crisis response teams," said Antioch Police Department Chief Joe Vigil. "Clearly, this guy is having some type of mental episode."
Vigil said officers were able to talk the man down into getting off the car. Officers then detained the man until an ambulance arrived.

Authorities then decided it was best for the man to be transported to a hospital.
"I think the officers did a really good job not trying to push the issue [so] he wouldn’t get hurt, and no one else gets hurt," Vigil said.

"The guy complied. No excessive force, pretty simple," he said.
