Prisoner crawled from cell a day before dying in hospital
SICKENING CCTV footage of a bleeding prisoner crawling from his cell has been described as "deeply disturbing" by a Victoria Police commissioner.
The Chinese man, in his 50s, who was arrested and placed in a cell at Dandenong police station for being drunk, pleaded for help, soiled himself and was bleeding when he was bailed by police on May 12.
Five minutes later, as an interpreter tried to help him, police called an ambulance, but he died the following day in hospital.
The tragedy came to light after another death in custody on Sunday, in which a man died hours after a violent confrontation with police outside his home.
Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said an officer had been put on alternative duties while the ethical standards department and the homicide squad investigate the Dandenong death.
"My view is that if you see a prisoner crawling on the ground, that should be a very clear signal that we should be calling an ambulance, and I'm very concerned in this case that did not occur," he said.
Mr Cornelius said there was no evidence of the man being physically mishandled by police.
"It is a deeply disturbing and very disappointing image. I would never want to see anything like that again in my policing career," he said.
Police investigating the tragedy will compile a brief for the state coroner.
The circumstances of the man's death only came to light yesterday after an interpreter who witnessed the incident phoned a radio station.
The woman, "JJ", said the man repeatedly yelled that he needed to go to hospital and was writhing in pain. She said she was struggling to erase the images of his blood-stained face and the "despair" in his eyes.
In a separate incident, Umut Selek, 23, died hours after a confrontation with police outside his Meadow Heights home early on Sunday.
Police and paramedics were called by his parents, who claimed he was attempting to harm himself.
Mr Selek was sedated but went into cardiac arrest en route to the Royal Melbourne Hospital where he died.
Supt Jack Blayney said up to six officers were needed to subdue Mr Selek, who was "irrational" and "aggressive towards police members".
Homicide detectives, overseen by Victoria Police's ethical standards department, will investigate the man's death.
