The province’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was seriously injured during an arrest in Hamilton early Saturday morning.
Shortly after midnight, police were called about a disturbance at an A&W restaurant near King and Bay streets.
They found the suspect near Gore Park and during his arrest there was an “interaction” with one of the officers, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said.
The man was seriously injured, and paramedics took him to hospital.
The SIU said its investigators are interviewing the officer in question and two others who witnessed the incident.
