A homeless man pretended to be a Tampa police officer Thursday night and ordered a Centro Ybor security guard to give him his gun before he attacked the guard with his fists, police said.
At 10:46 p.m., Christopher K. Schunk, 37, approached a security guard in the 1600 block of Seventh Avenue, demanding he hand over his gun, according to an arrest report.
When the guard refused, Schunk tried to punch him, police said. The guard flagged down police officers on patrol.
Schunk continued saying he was an officer and demanded several times that they arrest the guard, the report said.
He was charged with assault, resisting arrest and impersonating an officer. Schunk remains in Orient Road Jail today with bail set at $2,750.
