The Independent Investigation Unit is looking into the injury of a man whose hand was fractured while being arrested by Manitoba RCMP.
The 20-year-old man was arrested July 28 in Nelson House after allegedly being intoxicated at a residence in the community. The IIU says during the arrest, the man’s right hand was fractured and he was taken to the local nursing station for treatment.
The IIU says while the injury isn’t serious, its civilian director determined it to be in the public interest for the IIU to investigate.
