The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) is investigating serious injuries that were allegedly caused during the arrest of a suspect on July 29, 2021, by Winnipeg Police Service officers.
The WPS advised the IIU that the Law Enforcement Review Agency (LERA) had secured medical evidence after a complaint that indicated the male had suffered fractures to his ribs, clavicle, scapular as well as a collapsed lung during the arrest.
Since the injuries are considered serious under the IIU regulations, the IIU is mandated to investigate the incident.
Anyone with information or video footage of the arrest is asked to call the IIU at 1-844-667-6060.
