A Senior Constable from the Critical Incident Response Team was suspended last night over the Epping arrest.
Victoria Police said on Tuesday that a senior constable from the Critical Incident Response Team was suspended on Monday night following his involvement in a "protracted incident" which began at Epping's Northern Hospital on Sunday.
Another video shows six officers surrounding the man while he is face down on the ground on the median strip. The spokeswoman described the incident as "highly dynamic" and said that a police officer was assaulted and capsicum spray used on the man before he was arrested and taken to hospital for assessment.
Following the arrest, Glenn's son was placed in an induced coma on Monday and was receiving treatment at Northern Hospital.Jeremy King, principal lawyer at Robinson Gill, said he was acting for the man's family, who are planning to take legal action against Victoria Police. "I think it should be born in mind that this was a man actively trying to seek help and he had been doing his best to do that. Police are dealing with a very vulnerable person with mental health issues who hasn't committed any other crime.Mr Edwards, who filmed the arrest, told"Within two seconds a police car rammed into him … the man then got up and a foot chase continued," he said.
