HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) – A large police presence convened outside a Hialeah Walgreens to take down a man, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said, is a wanted federal fugitive.<\/p>\n

Forty-one-year-old Yam Brandy Perera Nunez was located in the area of West 68th Street and 12th Avenue on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Cellphone video shows a police confrontation and action-packed apprehension that resulted in the arrest of Perera Nunez.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s running! Oh!\u201d said a person in the crowd watching the action unfold.<\/p>\n

Perera Nunez was zapped with a taser as he tried running away from law enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAye, papo!\u201d said another witness who was watching.<\/p>\n

After being hit by the taser gun, the suspect face planted onto the Hialeah street. A large group of police then greeted him, with some of them throwing punches while others held long guns around him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYoooo! Oh, they\u2019re hitting him. What the [expletive],\u201d said a man on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Video captures Perera Nunez upright and being handcuffed by responding officers with what appears to be a bloody nose and a woozy look on his face from the fall.<\/p>\n

Troopers said they had been after him for at least a day. They first encountered him in the rural area of Northwest 137th Avenue<\/a> in Northwest Miami-Dade on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

7News cameras captured tactically clad officials and their K-9 officers scouring the area near a white pickup truck, which is said to belong to Perera Nunez, after he bailed out of it and led detectives on a foot pursuit.<\/p>\n

Multiple law enforcement agencies, from troopers to Hialeah Police, and even officials with the Department of Homeland Security, looked all over for him but eventually could only take his truck.<\/p>\n

But just 24 hours later, with big guns pointed and smoke blanketing the Walgreens parking lot, officers closed in and got their man despite his repeated attempt to escape apprehension.<\/p>\n

The suspect faces a list of charges, including fleeing and eluding, aggravated assault, and grand theft. He remains behind bars as of late Thursday night.<\/p>\n
