The province’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was seriously injured during an interaction with Toronto police on Saturday.
According to the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), officers were making an arrest at around 7 p.m. in the area of Victoria Street Lane and Dundas Street East, near Yonge Street, when a “third party” was injured.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment and diagnosed with a serious injury, the SIU said.
Police have not released any information about the interaction or said why officers were initiating an arrest in the area at the time.
“The SIU is currently investigating, and by law, we cannot comment further,” Toronto police said in an email to CP24 on Friday.
