Police responded to a call in the 2400 block of Sherwood Avenue around 11:17 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 4 where they found an unidentified man being restrained by a bystander in the roadway, according to the office of the Maryland Attorney General.
The man was allegedly suffering from an overdose and a second bystander administered Narcan to the man before medics arrived, say multiple outlets.
An officer then handcuffed and put leg restraints on the man, who became unresponsive. Medics arrived and the victim was placed in an ambulance before the officer removed the handcuffs and restraints.
The man was then rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy will be performed on the man to determine a cause of death, officials say.
The body-worn camera that the officer was wearing was active during the incident, and footage may be released in accordance with Baltimore Police Department and Independent Investigations Division policies.
