The Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO) says it is investigating an arrest in Vancouver that resulted in one man being injured early Saturday morning.
The VPD says it responded to a report of man allegedly breaking into Denman Place Mall at Denman and Nelson streets around 12:30 a.m.
“When officers arrived, they arrested one man and took him to the Vancouver Jail, where he was seen by a nurse and subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment,” IIO said.
The IIO is called in after any police-related incidents that result in death or serious injury, whether or not there are any allegations of wrongdoing.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have video footage is asked the call the IIO Witness Line at 1-855-446-8477.
