MILFORD — A man was arrested on multiple charges after becoming combative with police officers who attempted to serve him with an active warrant Monday evening.
The Milford Public Safety Communications Center received a call at approximately 4:59 p.m. from Domingo Mejia, who requested police assistance to retrieve personal belongings from his former residence.
Mejia required a police escort due to an active 209A restraining order.

A Taser was deployed to gain control of the situation.
Mejia subsequently fell to the ground, striking his head during the incident.
One officer suffered an injury to his hand.
Mejia was transported under arrest to Milford Regional Hospital.
While in custody at Milford Regional Hospital, Mejia was causing a disturbance before being transferred to Boston Medical Center for treatment for an injury suffered from the fall.
He remains in police custody charged with disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, warrant arrest and four counts of assault and battery on a police officer.
