The man called “a gentle giant” by his family remains chained to a bed in a hospital.
26-year old Josh Marks, a runner-up on year two of Fox’s Master Chef, was arrested by police at the University of Chicago after a bizarre altercation during which he claimed that celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was an “a**hole” who had possessed his body and “…transformed him into God.”
The 7′ 2″ tall chef was approached by a policeman who noticed that he had been injured at which point Marks assaulted the man and tried to steal his gun.
According to The International Business Times, after three police officers failed to subdue the man with batons and pepper spray, he escaped and was finally apprehended — but it took five police officers to do it.
He has been charged with aggravated battery on a peace officer and attempting to disarm a peace officer.
