"Oh my God, he can't breathe! You can hear wheezing," a woman off camera notes in the third installment. This version clearly shows that the man is handcuffed.

"Relax, you hear those sirens? When they come, you'll be fine," the officer is heard telling the man.

"I've never really seen anything like this firsthand," Prince told the news site. "But I guess I've seen so much of this stuff online that my first instinct was to record it."
