HALIFAX – Nova Scotia’s Serious Incident Response Team is looking for witnesses to the arrest of a 23-year-old man last month that left him with serious head injuries.
Police say officers with Halifax Regional Police were called to a restaurant on Granville Street in downtown Halifax on March 23 after reports of a theft from a woman’s purse.
Investigators say a suspect was located on nearby George Street and led police on a foot pursuit.
Police say officers eventually used a conducted energy weapon on the man, causing him to fall to the ground.
He was taken to hospital with serious head injuries, but has since been released.
The team, which is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia, is looking to speak with people who witnessed the incident.
