middle of Mass Ave., acting completely irrational. Every attempt that was
made to calm Ohene down and reason with him was met with opposition. We
informed him that we were only there to help him and were concerned for his
safety. It was made very clear that our pleads were not going to be received
by Ohene. Ohene's behavior was aggressive, hostile, and intimidating during
our interaction. As Ohene and I conversed, I observed him clench both his
fists. Ohene started to take steps towards officers in an aggressive manner.
I perceived this as a threat and thought an attack was imminent. Ohene was
then taken down to the ground. Ohene resisted our every attempt to safely
place him in handcuffs. Ohene was told multiple times to give us his hands
and he refused. Eventually Ohene was taken into custody with the help of four
separate officers. Ohene was then transported to the hospital by ambulance
for an evaluation. While inside the ambulance, Ohene assaulted an EMT by
spitting a mixture of saliva and blood directly into his mouth.
