Probe launched into police use of capsicum spray

The man allegedly became aggressive and struck the senior constable several times in the head and body moments after the officers began speaking to him.
He allegedly struggled when the officers tried to detain him, and one of them sprayed capsicum spray on the side of his face.
The man then allegedly spat at both officers, struck the policewoman in the mouth and scratched her colleague on the arms.
Police back-up was then called to help detain the man.
"At this time the man appeared to be unwell and losing consciousness," the police spokeswoman said.
"The ambulance service was called, and the officers provided CPR until the ambulance officers arrived."
