Sen. Patrick Brazeau’s office is denying media reports that he was arrested at his Gatineau home but police and paramedics responded to his house twice early Tuesday morning, the Ottawa Citizen has learned.

Paramedics and police responded to his home first sometime around 2 a.m. after someone called 911 saying a man was feeling ill.

When police and paramedics arrived, the patient refused treatment. Then, two hours later, paramedics and police responded again after someone called 911 around 4 a.m. It was a call about a depressed man, and paramedics transported the patient to hospital.

It is not known how long the patient spent in hospital, but by Tuesday night, the Gatineau Hospital confirmed that the patient was no longer at the hospital.

Gatineau Police issued a release Tuesday evening saying they got a call for an “intervention,” but did not name Brazeau.

What is known is that police and paramedics responded twice to the same address listed in court records as being Brazeau’s residence, which includes a basement apartment.
