Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating the circumstances around an arrest Thursday night, after a man sustained a fractured elbow.
The Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) said the incident took place just before 9:15 p.m. on Sargent Avenue, when Winnipeg police were answering a call of a woman being assaulted.
Police tracked down the 23-year-old suspect, who they said was uncooperative, and had to use force to arrest him. He was injured during the arrest, and later diagnosed with a fracture at Health Sciences Centre.
