Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was injured during his arrest in Winnipeg last week.
The incident happened while police were responding to a call for service around on Ellice Avenue around 5:45 a.m. Thursday.
A release from the Independent Investigations Unit says a man who was being taken to hospital for medical attention became belligerent, and force was used to place him under arrest.
The man was found to have a fractured orbital socket when he arrived at hospital.
