The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and police witnesses, and video footage that largely captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officer (SO) did not agree to an interview with the SIU or the release of their notes. In the evening in early November 2025, two witness officers (WO #1 and WO #2) were dispatched to a residence in the area of Ellesmere Road and Meadowvale Road, Toronto, in connection with a reported disturbance. The complainant had been quarrelling with another person and the argument had turned physical. The complainant was belligerent with the officers and refused to be assessed by attending paramedics. At one point, while outside in front of the ambulance, the complainant swatted WO #1's hands. The officer reacted by pushing the complainant backward towards the ambulance and through the open side door. The two tussled briefly before WO #1 delivered a series of punches to the complainant's head area. Shortly after, the complainant was handcuffed and subsequently brought to 43 Division and lodged in a cell. Early the following day, a special constable (SEW #1) attended the cell to retrieve the complainant to speak with duty counsel. The complainant refused to exit the cell and then prevented the special constable from closing the cell door by continually positioning a leg to block its closure. Additional officers attended and, following a struggle, removed the complainant from the cell in order to place them in another cell. The second cell had a "D" ring that could be used to further restrain the complainant while in the cell. The complainant refused to cooperate with the relocation and was dragged from the first cell to the second cell and forced inside. Just inside the second cell, the complainant grabbed hold of the SO's left leg. The officer reacted by punching the complainant six times to the head, after which the complainant let go of the leg. Additional officers entered the cell and assisted in handcuffing the complainant to the "D" ring. The complainant was transported to hospital later that same day. Their left eye was swollen and their nose had started bleeding. They were diagnosed with a fracture of the left orbital bone.

Just after midnight in late December 2025, Toronto Police Service (TPS) officers were called to the scene of a reported hit and run in a residential area of the city. A woman on the roadway had been struck by a vehicle — a Ford Edge — that had left and then returned to the scene. Firefighters were the first to arrive, followed shortly by the subject officer and their partner, a witness officer. A crowd of persons had gathered around the injured woman, including family members. The officers ordered the crowd back so the firefighters could render care. Within seconds of the officers' arrival, a family member of the injured woman approached the Ford Edge, parked nearby at the curb. They tried to open the door of the vehicle and were pushed away by the witness officer. The subject officer arrived at the driver's door of the Ford Edge, opened it, and took hold of the driver — the complainant. The subject officer detected the smell of alcohol emanating from the complainant. The officer repeatedly told the complainant to exit the vehicle and then forcibly removed them from their seat when they did not comply. The subject officer and witness officer escorted the complainant to the rear of the Ford Edge, where the subject officer grounded the complainant front first. The complainant was subsequently handcuffed behind the back and placed in the backseat of a police cruiser. The complainant was transported to hospital following their arrest and diagnosed with a broken nose.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant, the subject officer, and other witnesses (police and non-police), and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the evening of late December 2025, OPP officers were dispatched to an address in Deseronto. Police had received a call about a disturbance at a residence involving the complainant and their partner. The subject officer arrived on scene and was joined by two witness officers. A crisis worker was also in attendance with the police. The subject officer was met by the complainant at the front door and allowed inside. The two made their way to the rear yard to talk. The other officers and the crisis worker remained in the house to speak with the partner. Over the course of the next 45 minutes, the subject officer attempted to have the complainant explain what had happened. An intoxicated complainant engaged with the officer in fits and starts, unable to provide a coherent account of the events that preceded the officers' arrival and occasionally adopting a belligerent posture with the subject officer. The officer told the complainant they would not be allowed to stay at the home that night and would need to explore alternative accommodations. The complainant became increasingly frustrated, unable to secure alternative accommodations for the night. Near the end of their discourse, the complainant walked towards the rear door of the residence. The subject officer grabbed hold of them, stated they were under arrest for public intoxication, and attempted to pull them away from the home. The complainant resisted by pulling in the opposite direction, and an altercation followed. The subject officer threw the complainant to the ground and positioned themselves overtop the complainant's supine torso on the left side. One witness officer was positioned by the complainant's upper body on the right side. The complainant thrashed their legs about. The subject officer delivered a series of elbow strikes to the complainant's face, after which the complainant's arms were controlled in front of their body and handcuffed. Following the arrest, the complainant was transported to hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right shoulder.
