Evan Maud left his brother's home around 4am on Friday morning. He said officers in an unmarked police threatened him with a Taser, took his winter coat and made him run away.
"I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know what to do," Maud told Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. "What if they did something to me, like take my shoes and my pants and leave me with my shorts?
Police haven't responded to questions about the incident.
