Police claim the man -- later identified as Nas -- was running towards officers ... and then you hear the apparent sound of a Taser gun being fired.

Eyebrow-raising take from Mark Henry ... the WWE legend tells TMZ Sports Syko Stu deserves at least a portion of the blame for that ugly incident that went down with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's son over the weekend.

Henry says the veteran wrestler -- real name Stuart Smith -- should not have rattled Raja Jackson's cage by hitting him with a beer can just before the KnokX Pro event got underway on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Henry explained as a more experienced entertainer, Syko Stu should have been more mindful when interacting in that kind of fashion with someone who's so obviously new to the wrestling world.
