He then attempted to climb a second fence to get onto the main campus when “he was pulled down and detained by a group of male adults,” according to a Long Beach police statement.

“At some point, he became unresponsive,” the statement added.

Long Beach fire and police arrived to a person suffering a possible cardiac arrest.
