A man inside a home currently surrounded by police says he’s scared police are about to kill him.

The mentally distraught man, who we are choosing not to name at this point, called the Sun and several other local media outlets on Friday afternoon, after police surrounded a home at 1800 Wellington Cres.

“The f---ing police are trying to kill me and I haven’t done anything,” said the man, who was emotional throughout the seven-minute conversation.

He said police told him officers just wanted to “make sure he was OK” and tried to convince him to come outside. He was resistant to those suggestions, telling the Sun he didn’t want to go to jail or “back to the psych ward.”

“I’m going to go downstairs and watch TV until the police go away,” he said. “But I don’t think they’re going to go away.”

The man — who claimed his grandfather was “the head of the Masons” and the “illuminati judge” — said he had weapons inside the home and told the Sun he had been charged with a crime last month against four people, although he claimed the four had actually attacked him.

Police said they’re trying to talk to the man and are optimistic it can be resolved peacefully.

“We’re doing everything we can to get as much information as possible, and hopefully resolve this as soon as possible,” said police spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen.
