Police are doing everything they can to warn the public about a dangerous drug, believed to be ‘Flakka’, currently in circulation.
A new video caught on bodycam by Queensland officers highlights its terrifying side-effects. An 18-year-old girl can be seen collapsed in the street while screaming and writhing around in pain.
Meanwhile, a 42-year-old man was shown wearing boxers and begging for help.
‘Flakka’ is a synthetic compound that is often sold as MDMA but which causes hallucinations, violent outbursts and paranoia.
Assistant Commissioner Brian Codd issued a warning: ‘Over the last few days, we have seen a number of people have significant adverse reactions to this drug.’
‘Many of those people ended up in hospital and one young man remains in a critical.’
