WARNING Graphic Content: Australia Man Has Heart Attack During Arrest for Not Wearing Mask

In Queensland, Australia, a man was arrested for not wearing a mask while exercising. During the arrest at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens, police officers allegedly triggered a heart attack. The whole ordeal was captured on video and posted to Instagram by his son, who wrote “these police had no regard for his well-being, making a joke of his seizure and not believing he had heart problems. What would have happened if my father was by himself?”

In a lengthy description of what occurred, the son wrote:

My father answered all these questions. He was here for exercise. He doesn’t need to wear a mask as he was exercising and he is exempt from wearing a mask. He suffers from heart problems, struggles to breathe. He carries medication with him at all times.

He did not do anything illegal. He did not retaliate in a violent manner. He was conducting himself in a peaceful manner. Not looking for trouble.

This hurt me today more than anything I’ve experienced. Seeing my father get arrested pushed to the ground by four police as he was having a seizure and a cardiac arrest. I haven’t cried for many years and I balled my eyes out seeing him suffering that I couldn’t do anything or be there for him and feeling as a son to protect his father.

My father could have suffered brain damage from this. Permanent injury or death. All for what, because of a mask? Which he had all the medical requirements to not wear one for his own health.
