Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating the circumstances of an arrest that led to a man getting injured.
Two investigators have been assigned to the case.
Preliminary information released by the SIU states that a 27-year-old man was seen riding a bike around 3 a.m. October 24, near Patteson Avenue and Inshes Avenue in Chatham.
Chatham-Kent officers tried to stop the man but he allegedly ran away through residential backyards. Officers brought in a police service dog to help find the man and were eventually able to make an arrest. During the arrest, the 27-year-old man suffered an injury and was taken to the hospital. However, details about the injury have not been disclosed.
Anyone with information regarding the arrest is asked to contact the SIU. The lead investigator can be reached at 1-800-787-8529.
The SIU is a provincial agency that investigates reports of injury, death, or allegations involving police officers.
