Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-PCI-503
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and a police eyewitness, gives rise to the following scenario. The subject officer (SO) did not agree to an interview with the SIU, as was their legal right, but did authorize the release of their notes. In the afternoon of Q4 2025, the SO, operating an OPP cruiser with a witness officer (WO) as passenger, stopped a vehicle in the area of Northshore Drive, Haldimand County. The complainant was driving the vehicle. OPP officers had been on the lookout for the complainant after they expressed suicidal ideations upon learning, earlier that day, that they were the subject of a sexual assault investigation. As the officers exited the cruiser to approach the vehicle, the complainant accessed a knife and used it to inflict a serious laceration across the left side of their neck. The SO and the WO observed the wound, contacted paramedics, and attempted to apply first aid. When the complainant tried to prevent the officers from helping them, they were handcuffed to allow the SO and the WO to provide emergency care. The complainant was transported to hospital and treated for a serious neck wound.
