Man allegedly suffers fractured hand after arrest by N.B. RCMP, SiRT investigates
The waiting area of the Serious Incident Response Team, the province's independent police watchdog agency, is seen in Halifax on Wednesday, April 18, 2018.
The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) is investigating an arrest by New Brunswick RCMP that allegedly resulted in a man suffering a fractured hand.
Police responded to a disturbance at the Moncton Lion's Club on the evening of June 3, according to a news release from SiRT.
Officers spotted two adult men fighting outside the building. One of the men ran away and was later detained for an assault. He also showed signs of intoxication, according to SiRT.
'While being escorted to cells he continued to resist the officers and had to be placed on the floor to remove the handcuffs,' reads the release.
The man complained of wrist pain and was later diagnosed with a fracture to his right hand.
SiRT is responsible for investigations into serious injury, death, sexual assault and death that may have arisen due to the actions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick police officers.
