A pool in Alexandria, Virginia, was evacuated after a lifeguard began suffering from emotional distress Monday afternoon.
Fairfax County police arrived at the pool after receiving calls about a lifeguard who may have been in emotional distress.
“They did observe a lifeguard actually pacing [and] blowing his whistle somewhat inappropriately,” said officer Monica Meeks with the Fairfax County Police Department.
Meeks said the 20-year-old lifeguard put on some of his lifeguard gear and began yelling in Polish. The pool was evacuated as officers tried to calm him.
The officers tried to speak with the man and resorted to their crisis intervention training, which aims to help officers safely diffuse a situation involving someone in mental crisis.
Meeks said a police officer who speaks Polish happened to be on duty nearby and was called to the pool to help communicate with the lifeguard.
The lifeguard jumped in and out of the pool, according to police, as officers continued to talk to him. On his final jump, he sank in the deep end, and a fellow lifeguard jumped in and rescued him.
Meeks said paramedics began performing CPR on the distressed lifeguard, who was unresponsive.
“They were able to regain a pulse, [and] as soon as they did that, he became combative,” Meeks said.
The man was eventually subdued, Meeks said. He was taken into custody for his own protection and will not be charged.
He was transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital in non-life-threatening condition, Meeks said.

Yo, dumbo. Tense situations are hopefully DEFUSED, not DIFFUSED. Sign up for an English as a Second Language course somewhere. It's pretty plain that Goober is your first language.

The kids drove him crazy.
Since, for the FCPD, this was somewhat of a new response tactic, I wonder how many of the cops with less training had itchy trigger fingers? What was their previous response tactic - Knock him out and put a straight jacket on him? I don't know why that would be a problem. If someone does not understand that when a cop is coming for you, you put your hands up, then they need to learn. Not the other way around. I wonder if anyone needed a cop but none were available because they were busy playing patti-cakes.
