An unarmed Florida therapist was shot by police while trying to calm down his autistic patient, authorities said.

Police in North Miami were responding to a report of a man with what appeared to be a gun when they came across Charles Kinsey and his patient, who had run away from a group home.

‘All he has is a toy truck — a toy truck,’ Kinsey pleads with cops, lying flat on the ground with arms raised, as seen in cell phone footage of the incident. ‘I am a behavior therapist at a group home.’

Kinsey tries to get his patient to comply, using soothing words so he remains calm.

‘Rinaldo, please be still, Rinaldo,’ he is heard saying in video released by WSVN. ‘Sit down, Rinaldo. Lay on your stomach.’
