A video of a man being arrested in Brisbane for not wearing a mask has gone viral after he appeared to have a seizure. WARNING: Graphic
However, a Queensland Police Service spokesman has said that “no medical issue” had yet been identified.
In the recording, shared by the man’s son on Instagram, two police officers are seen handcuffing the man who then says to a woman behind the camera “now you’ve got me arrested”.The man can be heard telling police that the handcuffs are hurting him, to which the officer replies “I’m not confident that you’re going to comply with our directions”.
The woman can be heard saying “absolutely disgraceful” as the officers start to lead the man out of the gardens. Then, the video cuts to the man lying face down on the ground yelling and having what appears to be a seizure.“Just let me get it, for God’s sake,” the woman says. “See do you believe me now you p***ks?”
One of the police officers finds the man’s medication and asks him if he is able to administer it himself before the woman says she will do it.Get your political briefing from news.com.au's political editor Samantha Maiden.
