The 22-year-old man, who was covered in blood from self-inflicted cuts, likely experienced a mental health crisis prompting a police pursuit leading to Newport Beach.
After fleeing police, the man jumped into the water and took a kayak to a boat in Newport Harbor where he was eventually detained safely.
The man’s blood was from self-inflicted wounds made with a razor blade, which he discarded into the ocean during the incident.
Police are still determining if any charges will be filed against the man as he is being treated for his mental health crisis.
