According to a police report released by MPD this morning, officers responded to an incident in the 600 block of University Avenue at 12:15 a.m. about reports concerning the welfare of a man in the area.

When officers tried to contact him to ask for his name, Hansen responded that his name was “Bruce Wayne” or “the Flash,” the report said.
The report said officers proceeded to try and restrain him, resulting in a struggle. Hansen struck one male officer in the groin in the struggle.
After detaining him, officers arrested Hansen for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and battery to a law enforcement officer.
