The Minneapolis Police Department says officers were patrolling on horseback after bar close when the man ran up, without provocation, and punched a police horse. Neither the horse or the ride were injured, CBS Minnesota reports.
The man — identified as Jacob Solberg, of Minneapolis — ran off, but officers quickly gave chase and arrested him.
