A man who was trying to evade officers was hospitalized with a pelvic fracture Wednesday after colliding with a police cruiser.
The incident, which happened in the William Whyte area, is currently being investigated by the Independent Investigation Unit (IIU).
Because of the serious injury sustained in the course of being arrested, the IIU is required to investigate the circumstances.
Police have said the injury occurred during a chase, when the man was fleeing on foot from one officer in a vehicle and another on foot.
The man collided with the cruiser when he darted into a roadway, they said.
Anyone with information or video footage that may help the investigation is asked to call the IIU at 1-844-667-6060. As the investigation is ongoing, no further details will be available at the time.
