Even though he ended up in a psychiatric hospital, atleast the cops didn't man handle him. I thought treated him very respoectfully even though they don't quite understand what's going on with him.

Most Psychiatric hospitals have social workers that deal with issues such as homelessness. The social worker may also be able to connect him with many needed services. All in all this is a very sad situation, however once you've reached rock bottom the only way to go from there is up.

Yeah I think he will get help but that's in the states so well never know for sure.
He does seem very aspie It looked like he was stimming in the holding cell. He also sounded very Einstein-like and was fascinated by the machines.

Okay, I watched it.  What's the deal with the gurney?  It seems they could have just handcuffed him and put him in a car to take him to the psych hospital, instead of going all out with the ambulance.  Seems like a waste of resources.

It is sad.  His mother had a restraining order on him and he was homeless.

I know an autistic person named Nathan who has spent time in psychiatric hospitals.

I wonder where this was filmed.
