At 3:55 p.m. on Wednesday, paramedics and firemen responded to reports of a man experiencing seizure like symptoms in the courtyard on the north side of building T at LAC.

The firemen arrived on the scene first and were able to stabilize the man and when the paramedics arrived they quickly ushered him into the ambulance and headed to a nearby medical facility.

A small crowd of students gathered around to witness the proceedings.

According to Joshua Tanpinco, a student at LBCC, “He just started having a seizure and fell down,” said Tanpinco.

“There were two girls helping him at first, but I don’t know what happened to them.”

Alyssa Pyle, another student at LBCC, also saw what happened.

“He just yelled something, and fell down and started seizing up,” Pyle said.

A call to Lt. Omar Martinez, head of public safety at LBCC, was made for comment but was not immediately returned.
