Max Gonano, president of Virginia Beach’s Professional Firefighters Association, said firefighters were attempting to treat the man when a crowd angrily questioned the firefighters about why it took them so long to respond.
A fire department briefing said some in the crowd followed an ambulance to a hospital, where they damaged at least one EMS vehicle.
Police said the unidentified man was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital.
