A man stripped naked inside a Dallas County, Texas, courthouse and tried to grab a weapon from an officer, officials said.

A receptionist saw the 33-year-old man taking off his clothes on the 11th floor of the court building, authorities reported. She called for help, and a prosecutor chased the man into a stairwell.

An officer was trying to help the prosecutor when the man placed his hand on the officer's weapon, officials said. The man faces a charge of trying to take a weapon from a peace officer.
