Cristian Diazmore was “completely nude” when police officers found him at 7610 Harding Ave, a police officer wrote, according to an arrest report.

Diazmore had broken into an apartment and “ransacked” it when a witness who worked in housekeeping found him, according to the report.

Diazmore took off running, and a security guard at Temple Menorah, at 620 75th St., reported he was trying to break into the school, according to the report.

Diazmore “was barefoot” and “wearing only red shorts” when police officers saw him near the temple, in the back of 7440 Carlyle Ave., according to the report.

Diazmore struck the detective in the face “with his left elbow,” jumped a fence, and took a fighting stance, but a police officer punched him and he fell before he was arrested, according to the report.

Police officers arrested Diazmore shortly before 3 p.m., on Monday, near 74 Street, between Carlyle and Dickens avenues, according to the report.

Miami-Dade corrections booked Diazmore shortly before 7 p.m. on Monday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records.

Miami-Dade court records show Diazmore was out on probation for a case of burglary of an unoccupied structure and two counts of petit theft.

On Tuesday, Diazmore faced four new charges: Battery on a police officer, resisting an officer with violence, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, and resisting arrest without violence.
