Warning: Graphic Content of Arrest and Medical Episode
Video of a man having a medical episode while being arrested at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens on Monday (2nd of August) for not wearing a mask has gone viral. The video was shared by the man’s son on instagram, I’ve included some of the information provided as direct quotes from the post to give context.
“This elderly man is my father. He was exercising in Botanical gardens, Brisbane with his partner on the 2th August at approximately 9:30am. He was stopped by 4 police and interrogated as to why he was there? and what he was doing? Why he wasn’t wearing a mask? “
“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.”
“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”

If there are any updates from QLD Police, I will update this post to reflect their comments.
Full video without my commentary is available from 1:36

These officers will pay come the Judgement Day of God!!! God have mercy!! There is a day the creator will judge whether you have done good or bad in this world!! Eternity is forever!!
10 min before putting him in the recovery position
The World is turning to Sh*t!! & it has nothing to do with our public health..
Absolutely discusting behaviour that’s why you don’t trust debt collector’s
What a joke.
It's footage like this that make people wear their little mask. So……………………….who sees what I'm saying……………………….?
No share ?
So if the Gestapo are arressting people in the name of "saving lives" from the flu, why cant they save this guy by helping him administer him medicine? Isn't it all about our "well being" ?
Oz police earning the hate – Scum of the lowest order, pretending to help him after assaulting him. Take out private prosecutions they need naming and shaming
They belong in the dirt
What's your email address I have some information on the QLD Premier and CHO that is very interesting.
Evil, each person involved here is responsible for what transpired, shameful. There is a saying "Every dog has his day"
Was that Max Igan?
In every instance they're breaching social distancing unnecessarily, why never err on the side of caution??? I hope that fellow is okay ❤️🍀🐸
This Police behaviour is illegal , why is this being allowed to happen ?
A Mask ? Outside?????????? Wtf
All in the matter of public safety?
The bloke looks 60's, were handcuffs really necessary?
Over a mask? (Proven by the CDC provides little to no protection from the flu, sorry, Covid)
My mum got the bloody jab. Not because she feared for her health, but because she feared she'd be never allowed to visit anyone, and that she might kill her great grandchildren.. nice work ya mongeral politicians.
There's nothing to be concerned about
– David Elliott, NSW police minster.
The police did this for his health.
They just wanted to make sure he was safe.
These filth will probably get a commendation for this behaviour. Anyone who thinks Australia has not fallen to full blown evil is deluding themselves , what a shithole this place has become. The most corrupt government in history.
Absolutely disgraceful – there needs to be Royal Commisions into all the Australian Police Forces for their actions both during Covid and prior – I think ( know ) there is plenty of corruption
That guy got arrested for having asthma
He had a freaking seizure in the middle of a wrongful arrest
