A 62-year-old Huntington Station man died Tuesday after officers put handcuffs on him.

According to Suffolk County police, officers conducting a patrol check at Alfred J. Walker Memorial Park approached the man, who then ran from the scene.

Police said they recognized the man after a records check, which showed he was wanted on a parole warrant.

Officers continued searching for the man near the South Huntington Water District, when witnesses pointed them to a grassy area where he was hiding.

Police said an officer ordered the man not to move - he was facedown - and placed him in handcuffs.

When officers turned him over, they found him unresponsive.

Authorities said officers began CPR, administered Narcan and used an AED on the man.

The man, identified as Victor Santos, was transported to Huntington Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
