Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 26-TCI-057
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and both subject officers, gives rise to the following scenario. In the afternoon of early 2026, members of a divisional MCU were on the lookout for the affected person. They had information to believe that they had purchased a cellphone the day before with counterfeit money, and planned to arrest them for the offence. Operating unmarked vehicles and dressed in plainclothes, the officers located the affected person exiting an apartment building and tracked them to a grocery store, just around the corner from their residence in the area of a major street. They took up positions on the street outside the grocery store intending to take the affected person into custody on their exit from the store. Unaware they were being followed, the affected person left the store with a box of diapers in hand and started walking in the direction of their residence. They were confronted by a subject officer. The officer physically engaged the affected person and the two went to the ground by a stand of bicycle racks. Other members of the MCU arrived quickly at the site of the arrest, including another subject officer, and intervened. The second subject officer kneed the affected person twice in the left torso. The affected person was handcuffed behind the back and transported to the police station. The affected person complained of pain in the left arm and was transported to hospital where X-rays proved inconclusive because of swelling in the area. They were told to return to the fracture clinic for a follow-up assessment. Later, the affected person was X-rayed again in hospital and diagnosed with a radial head fracture of the left elbow.
