Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 26-OCI-077
Redacted summary
The material events in question are clear on the evidence collected by the SIU and may briefly be summarized. In the afternoon of early 2026, the police service received 911 calls about a male causing a disturbance inside and outside a transit bus stopped in the southbound lanes of a street. At about the same time, an officer was on patrol in her cruiser travelling when she was flagged down by a person in connection with the same disturbance. The officer brought her cruiser to a stop in front of the bus and exited to investigate. The male was the affected person. He was heavily intoxicated by alcohol and bleeding from the head. Moments prior, a male passenger on the bus had fought with the affected person, also a passenger, and forcibly ejected him from the bus. On learning of the altercation in the bus, the driver had contacted security and locked-down the vehicle pending the arrival of assistance. The affected person had attempted to re-enter the bus, banging and kicking its exterior and causing damage to the front door. He had also banged on other vehicles passing by in the area. The officer attempted to escort the affected person off the roadway but he refused. At one point, he got in the officer’s face and forced her backward. Another officer arrived on scene with their partner, and intervened to assist the first officer in taking the affected person to the roadway. With their assistance, the officers proceeded to handcuff the affected person’s hands behind the back. Paramedics arrived on scene and transported the affected person to hospital. They were treated for lacerations to the head and forehead, and diagnosed with a neck fracture.
