The American businessman referred to what is seen in the video as "insanity."

He went on to use the incident as a strange warning for his American followers, saying similar things could occur in the U.S. if they "don't wake the hell up."

His tweet has already collected over 53k likes.

The video being shared was originally posted by Mathieu Tessier on Facebook.

Gatineau Police commented on the matter on Twitter stating, "The video shows only an excerpt of the intervention."

They go on to tell us that, "Individuals were reluctant and refused to collaborate. The individual arrested in the video had assaulted a police officer, hitting him in the face a few times."

The police claim that "Infringement = obligation to identify oneself. A 2nd person was also arrested and 6 statements of facts issued (Public Health Act)."
