Ontario’s police watchdog won’t lay criminal charges against an Ottawa police officer after a man broke his leg while running from police and into traffic in 2016.
An investigation into the incident revealed police officers attempted to speak to a group of men believed to be smoking marijuana on Dec. 13, 2016 near the corner of King Edward Avenue and Rideau Street.
A Special Investigations Unit report said an officer was speaking to a 34-year-old man, and “for no reason,” the man fled, ran west into traffic on King Edward Avenue, and was struck by a tractor-trailer.
An ambulance was called and the man was taken to hospital. He fractured both his tibia and femur in his left leg.
The SIU said Wednesday that while the complainant may not have run and ultimately been injured if police had not attempted to question him, the police “cannot be held accountable for the actions taken by persons who wish to evade them.”
The SIU investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
