dont really agree with this

on the scanner in the boston area - a cardiac arrest means that a
person is down and needs CPR and more - everything else is chest pains
or heart attack (police might say this) or cardiac problem or cardiac
event or cardiac disorder or some such thing

in general vernacular / vocabulary - 'arrest' means that the police
put handcuffs on someone - the police stop someone from fleeing -
"attack" means to use violence basically or be very aggressive / mean
/ angry / turtleboyish
