Police say the man allegedly punched the officer and grabbed his conducted energy weapon during the struggle.
According to the release, the officer was eventually able to subdue the man and place him under arrest.
Investigators later learned the man had stolen a key from a woman and attempted to steal her vehicle prior to the assault.
A 37-year-old man from Wallaceburg is charged with obstructing a police officer, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, disarming a police officer and robbery.
Police says he remains in custody while he awaits a bail hearing.
