Police watchdog investigating after man Tasered, seriously injured at Dufferin Mall
Ontario's police watchdog says it is investigating after a man was Tasered and seriously injured at Dufferin Mall in Toronto's west end earlier this week. The incident happened around 8 p.m. Tuesday, according to Monica Hudon, a spokesperson for the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Details are scarce, but Hudon said a loss prevention officer "became involved in an interaction" with a 37-year-old man. A Toronto police officer then "became aware of what was happening" and Tasered the man, which led to him falling to the ground, Hudon said. The man was arrested and taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with a serious injury, she said. Hudon did not provide any further information about the nature of the injury or the man's condition. The SIU has assigned two investigators and one forensic investigator to the case, Hudon added.
