Raw video taken in the moments after Ottawa police grounded and arrested a man who is now dead has been posted to YouTube.
The video, which depicts 37-year-old Abdirahman Abdi already on the ground bleeding, with his pants off of his waist and his face on the pavement, was shared on YouTube Tuesday morning, two days after the police altercation that has sent shockwaves through the community.
It’s not clear from the video, which shows only what happened while police waited for paramedics, what happened in the minutes prior. No use of force by police is captured on video. It’s not clear if at the time the video was filmed whether Abdi was conscious or breathing.
The video shows Abdi on the ground and several officers, one of whom maintains a hand on him, around him. The events around his arrest are subject to an investigation by the Special Investigation Unit, Ontario’s civilian police watchdog.
The video appears to have been taken from behind the glass front door of Abdi’s apartment building at 55 Hilda St. The conversation of the officers’ is not audible and only wails from people within the building can be heard.
The video can be seen here.
Warning, the content is graphic.
While the captions on the uploaded video assert that police killed Abdi, what exactly happened on Sunday morning is currently under investigation by the SIU. What is known is that police responded to reports of a man assaulting people inside a Hintonburg coffee shop. Once they arrived, they found Abdi and say that he continued to be “assaultive.” He fled and police pursued. He was taken down on Hilda Street with the use of pepper spray, batons and physical force, arrested and handcuffed. But at some point in that sequence of events, the SIU believes he suffered “medical distress.” He was taken to hospital in what was critical condition, but was pronounced dead on Tuesday.
More to come.
