Alberta’s police watchdog is investigating an incident in which an Edmonton police officer and a woman were both injured on the north side Thursday morning.
Police responded just after 9:30 a.m. to reports of rocks being thrown at vehicles near 127th Avenue and 97th Street.
The Edmonton Police Service said when officers arrived on scene, they found a 38-year-old woman who they said appeared to be heavily intoxicated.
