The crew then quickly went to the place.

It was learned that the man was accessing the Emergency Room, transported by volunteers from the basic rescue vehicle following an intervention requested by personnel from another law enforcement agency because, having been subjected to police control, he was already showing signs of strong agitation on the street.
