Ed Mackenzie of the Sheriff’s San Dimas Station. “He was having some kind of medical episode. We’re not exactly sure what,” Mackenzie told SGV CityWatch. Three deputies were injured while detaining the suspect. One deputy received an abrasion to one of his knuckles, another deputy received a calf injury — both of those deputies declined medical treatment.
