The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding the injuries sustained by a 36-year-old man in Sudbury on Thursday evening.
Shortly after midnight, the Sudbury Police Service responded to a call in the area of Lloyd Street and Mathew Street. Officers located a 36-year-old man, and while arresting him, there was an interaction.
“The man was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a shoulder injury,” the SIU said in a news release. “Two investigators and one forensic investigator have been assigned to this incident.”
The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529. Anyone who may have any video evidence related to this incident is asked to upload that video through the SIU website.
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.
Under the Police Services Act, the Director of the SIU must consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation.
Depending on the evidence, they then lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid.
The results of all investigations are given to the Attorney General.
