Manitoba’s Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) says that officers involved in an arrest that injured a 23-year-old male in May 2020, will not face any charges.
On May 28, Winnipeg Police responded to an assault on a female. The male suspect was located nearby. The suspect became uncooperative with officers and force was used to take the male into custody.
During the arrest the male suffered a fractured elbow.
The IIU was notified and began an investigation. Under their mandate, a fractured elbow is considered a serious injury and requires an investigation.
Upon completion of the investigation the IIU civilian director determined there were not reasonable grounds to charge any of the officers involved.
