Calgary police were called to a south Calgary hotel after a man was causing a disturbance.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says the man acted “in a confused fashion” and appeared to be trying to pick things up off the floor that didn’t exist.

The interaction between the man and the officer was captured on body-worn camera.

ASIRT said the three officers and the man were involved in a physical altercation that lasted about three -and-a-half minutes.

EMS arrived and gave the man a sedative about seven minutes after he was handcuffed.
