Cellphone video shot by neighbors showed masked agents picking the man up off the ground and carrying him in front of a home before attempting to put him into a truck. Law enforcement sources said agents called for medical transport because they believed the man was under the influence or experiencing an overdose, and an ambulance later arrived to take him away. Neighbors expressed concern after seeing masked officials on the street, and the detained man's identity and condition were not confirmed as of the time of publication.
