The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) is looking into an allegation of an assault by on-duty Mounties in The Pas, Man.

The IIU said The Pas RCMP reported the incident on Wednesday.

Police responded to a call on Sept. 29 about a fight between two women, the watchdog said.

Officers “met one of the females who was taken into custody after a brief struggle and later released,” the IIU said. The detachment got a call from the same woman two days later, wanting to make a formal complaint.
