Police said Blair then tried to grab the firearms of two officers before a fourth officer arrived on scene and attempted to subdue him with a Taser. It had no apparent effect, but officers eventually gained control of Blair's arms and arrested him.
One of the four officers involved sustained minor injuries.
Blair was later booked at the Ventura County Jail on suspicion of felony resisting a police officer, attempting to remove an officer's firearm and felony vandalism.
