An eyewitness with cellphone footage spoke out Monday night about what she saw at the Vancouver International Airport when a man was Tasered by RCMP and later died.

Sima Ashrafinia, who filmed the incident at the airport on her cellphone, told CBC News that RCMP officers stunned the man four times and handcuffed him after he fell on the floor.

“The third and fourth ones were at the same time,” she said. “The officer at his right and the officer at his left, they Tasered him at the same time and he fell down on his right.”

“As he fell down, four or five officers gathered around him and handcuffed him while he was on the floor,” Ashrafinia said.
