Police said the man was taken into custody after being examined by paramedics, but later complained about an injury and was taken to hospital.

The OPP notified the Special Investigations Unit which has now invoked its mandate.

Police said they couldn’t comment on details of the investigation, including any charges laid, now that the SIU has taken over.

The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
