PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE – Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was hurt when an R-C-M-P officer fired their gun while trying to arrest him.
Portage la Prairie RCMP say the man was not actually shot, but did suffer an unspecified injury.
They say the 33-year-old suspect was transported by air ambulance from MacGregor, Man., to a Winnipeg hospital where he was treated and released.
The RCMP did not immediately respond to requests for more details on what happened.
Police say they were responding to a report of an altercation between a man and a group of teenagers when they located the suspect in a home.
Both the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba and RCMP Major Crime Services are investigating.
