That is the length of the video capturing the final moments of Abderrahim Fakir, a 42-year-old Moroccan-born man who had lived in Bologna, northern Italy, for more than three decades.
Filmed shortly after 12:30pm local time (10:30 GMT) on Sunday from the balcony of a nearby apartment block, the footage shows two Italian police officers and a civilian restraining Fakir on the ground.
Four Italian Red Cross volunteers, who arrived with an ambulance, stand nearby.
Only after the restraint ends do paramedics realise Fakir has lost consciousness.
