A man walked into a Summerville fire station and punched a female firefighter after he told the responders he was tired and thirsty.

The man, identified as James Moore, walked into Summerville Fire Station 5 and said he was “tired, hungry and thirsty.”

When the firefighter handed Moore a cup of water, he reportedly became agitated and then punched her in the jaw, according to wmbfnews.com.

A nearby firefighter tackled Moore to the ground and held him down until police arrived and took him into custody.

Police say Moore showed signs of "possible impairment" and admitted to smoking marijuana before the incident.

He was charged with third-degree assault and battery, according to the television station.
