The province’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was found to have multiple facial fractures after he was arrested.
The incident happened in Lake St. Martin First Nation at about 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Gypsumville RCMP went there to arrest a man wanted on a warrant for domestic violence and found a vehicle in a ditch and a man fleeing on foot, police said in a news release Monday. He ran into a home, where police used a Taser on him and arrested him. He was assessed by emergency medical services at the Gypsumville detachment, transported to Ashern’s hospital and then moved to Health Sciences Centre.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba asked witnesses or anyone with information or video relevant to the incident to call the IIU toll-free at 1-844-667-6060.
