cbc.ca —
No charges will be filed against Brandon Police Service officers involved in a 2022 arrest after a man alleged they assaulted him. The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba concluded that the use of force was reasonable. The incident occurred on October 15, 2022, when police responded to a report of a man threatening a woman with a knife. The man resisted arrest and was found hiding nearby. He later claimed to have sustained multiple injuries during the arrest. The IIU report stated that while the man reported serious injuries, there was insufficient medical evidence to support his claims. The civilian director determined that the officers acted appropriately and did not use excessive force.
