Transcript:
00:00
We've been approximately 50-year-old male coming from under a freeway overpass with a chief complete combative behavior.
00:06
Sounds like police were called out because the patient was possibly acting erratically.
00:11
Once they arrived, the patient was resisting and fighting them.
00:15
The patient is under arrest.
00:20
He's in a full wrap right now.
00:22
He's been very uncooperative,
00:25
unknown with his mental status.
00:29
We haven't been able to get any vital signs off him yet.
00:33
He does have a strong and fast radial pulse.
00:36
He has an open airway.
00:39
As for his vital signs, sorry,
00:42
as for treatment, he's got two rounds of Versed,
00:45
5 milligrams, intramuscular.
00:48
That's two rounds, Versed, 5 milligrams intramuscular.
00:52
He's in top point gurney restraints and in the law enforcement body wrap for his lower extremities.
01:00
Patient was very uncooperative,
01:02
fighting us on scene.
01:03
Is there anything else I can get clarified for you? Like I said, police are going to be following us, and...
01:07
with us in the back of the ambulance to UTSC East.
01:13
And it sounds like no trauma that we're aware of either before police made contact or during handling, no trauma at any point.
01:25
All right, Grossmont.
01:27
I forgot to mention, no trauma prior while they were arresting him and putting him on the ground to place him in handcuffs.
01:33
He did scrape.
01:36
He's got some very small scrapes to his head.
01:39
Aside from that, no other signs of trauma, no active bleeding.
01:44
All right, I copy.
01:46
I know you have law enforcement with you.
01:48
Do you want me to ask if East Campus can have security meet you outside? Do you think you'll be able to get him inside safely with law enforcement assistance,
01:57
given that he is in that full-body wrap?
02:01
No, it'd be best to have security meet us outside.
02:04
Thank you for mentioning that.
02:07
Also, prior to our arrival, the patient was pepper sprayed in his eyes.
02:10
We were able to clean part of it off, but he still has some of the pepper spray around his face.
02:16
Just a heads up, so you can let them know as well.
