At somepoint on May 6th a man was found lying on the ground appearing to have a seizure. The DS who arrived first, asked the man if he was OK, and the man got up and pointed a syringe at the Deputy. The Deputy ordered the man to drop the syringe which he eventually did, but charged the Deputy, striking him in the face. The Deputy based the man but that mad him even madder pulling the laser and the Deputy closer. At this point, Ladder 34 arrived and helped subdue the pt/aggressor, which required emergency drugs to subdue the man.
