London, Ont., police say the Special Investigations Unit has been called in after a man was seriously injured over the weekend following a foot chase and arrest.
A police officer also sustained minor injuries in the arrest.
According to police, officers stopped a vehicle in south London on Sunday morning “in relation to a traffic investigation.”
