A man fleeing police suffered a broken leg when he was thrown from a motorcycle in the Garden City area Sunday.
City police told the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba that officers saw a motorcycle exit the rear lane of Hallet Street onto Rover Avenue at about 12:16 p.m. and noted the licence plate was expired and registered to a different bike.
The driver sped off when officers tried to stop the bike, police said, and it later struck a door of a vehicle making a left turn from Templeton Avenue onto Meredith Bay.
The driver of the motorcycle landed in the front yard of a nearby home. Police said he tried to flee but was arrested after a “brief” use-of-force encounter.
The man, who suffered a fractured right leg and cuts and bruises, was taken to Health Sciences Centre.
The IIU is asking witnesses or anyone who has video footage that might help investigators to call 1-844-667-6060.
