Quebec’s office of independent police investigations (BEI) has taken over after a pedestrian was hit by a car during a police intervention late Thursday night in the south shore suburb of Brossard.
According to a statement in French on the BEI’s website, Longueuil police (SPAL) officers responded to a 911 call at 11:43 p.m. concerning a naked man who was on Marie-Victorin Boulevard “and who appeared to be intoxicated.”
The statement reports that one SPAL officer attempted to arrest the man, prompting him to flee onto nearby Route 132. It was there that the man was hit by a car.
