Jason Russell seen in the film KONY 2012, co founder of the San Diego-based charity 'Invisible Children' that is campaigning for the arrest of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, has been taken to hospital after witnesses reporting him running around in the street in his underwear screaming.
He was picked up by police at around about 11.30am on Thursday after they received a number of phone calls from the public about a man vandalising cars, being apparently under the influence of a substance and some even reported that he was masturbating.
San Diego police dispatcher documents show neighbours began calling around 11.30am on Thursday to report that a man was running around in nothing but his underwear.
"[Subject] is at the corner, banging his hands on the ground, screaming, incoherent," the transcript continues. "People are trying to calm him down, he's been stopping traffic."
Police Lieutenant Andra Brown said that a man in his early thirties was taken to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation "At this point the police department's involvement in the matter is done," Brown said.
According to local TV station NBC, San Diego police woman Lieutenant Andra Brown told a press conference in the city that Russell was co-operative as he was detained by officers. "He was no problem for the police department. However, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him. So officers detained him and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment," she said.
