Audio of 911 calls and police radio transmissions are shedding new light on what happened the day Myles Gray died after being beaten by several Vancouver police officers.
Witnesses have already testified Gray was acting erratically that day, and the 911 calls confirm some of their observations.
Muhammed Reza called 911 to report a strange man had an altercation with Reza's mother outside their home on Southeast Marine Drive.
"There's one individual. He's drunk. He just harassed my mom," Reza told the 911 call taker. "He took the water hose and started spraying her for absolutely no reason."
Reza would describe a man appearing to be having a mental health crisis – talking to himself and gesturing at the sky.
"He has his hands on his knees. He's about to pass out or something. I don't know what's going on with him," Reza said.
At that point the dispatcher asked if Reza believed the man needed an ambulance.
