Senior, OPP officer injured during wellness check
The Special Investigations Unit said it is investigating an incident in Orillia Friday afternoon after a man was injured during his “apprehension” by police.
The province’s police watchdog said the incident happened at around 1 p.m. after Ontario Provincial Police officers went to a home on West St. N. for a wellness check involving the man.
The 65-year-old had barricaded himself in the home, the SIU said in a news release Saturday.
“After a time, officers attempted to apprehend the man, there was an interaction, and an officer discharged a less-lethal weapon (Anti-Riot Weapon Enfield) at him,” the SIU said.
The man was apprehended under the Mental Health Act and taken to hospital where he was treated for a serious, non-life-threatening injury, while an officer who was also injured was taken to a hospital for treatment and released, the SIU said.
The OPP notified the SIU, which invoked its mandate.
The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online through its website.
