Woman Suffers Serious Injury During Winnipeg Arrest, IUI Opens Investigation – Winnipeg
Manitoba’s Independent Investigations Unit (IIU) is investigating the events surrounding a recent arrest in Winnipeg that resulted in serious injury to a woman.
The incident happened on Sunday and the IUI was notified Monday by the Winnipeg Police Service.
According to the first report, at 11:13 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a distress call involving a woman who had broken into a residence and allegedly a*saulted people.
Officers encountered what they called a combative woman and during her arrest police used force which seriously injured the suspect.
She was taken to Concordia Hospital, where a medical evaluation confirmed a fractured right tibia.
Under IUI regulations, a broken tibia is considered a serious injury, triggering the IUI’s mandate to fully investigate the incident.
The IIU is now urging witnesses or individuals with relevant information, including video footage, to come forward and contribute to the ongoing investigation. They can contact the IIU toll-free at 1-844-667-6060.
