One report indicates that police believe the man was suffering from “excited delirium syndrome,” which typically affects individuals with a history of using stimulants.

Police were able to convince the man to let them take him under custody and away from the freeway traffic.

They were transporting him to a fire station where an ambulance was waiting, during which time the man became unresponsive. Once transferred into the ambulance, he regained consciousness and became combative.
