A 64-year-old man died after being arrested and taken into police custody in East Harlem on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to police, the 64-year-old began to have a medical episode inside 120 East 119th St., at around 12:20 p.m.<\/p>\n

The NYPD\u2019s 25th Precinct is located at that address.<\/p>\n

Police officers took life-saving measures and EMS transported the man to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead, the NYPD says.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old man was taken into custody earlier in the day after police were called to a veterans residence over a report of a man acting violently with a weapon, the Daily News reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The man was taken to the precinct, turned down medical attention and then began suffering a medical episode, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The Medical Examiner\u2019s office will determine the man\u2019s cause of death, and the NYPD\u2019s Force Investigation Division is looking into the incident, police say.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old\u2019s identity is being withheld until proper family notification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 64-year-old man died after being arrested and taken into police custody in East Harlem on Friday.
