Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating after a man reportedly fell from a second-storey balcony as officers responded to reports of a dispute in Oakville early Sunday.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said Halton police were called to the area of Speers Road and Kerr Street around 4 a.m. for reports of a dispute involving a cab driver.
Officers went into a nearby second-floor apartment and shortly after, a 40-year-old man reportedly ran out onto a balcony and subsequently fell off, the SIU said.
