Police Not At Fault For Man’s Broken Hand

City police are again off the hook after coming under investigation by a civilian police watchdog.

The Special Investigations Unit says on September 24th a 24-year-old man got into a dispute with his girlfriend and repeatedly punched the side of his pick-up truck.

It resulted in the man being diagnosed with a fractured right hand.

The SIU determined “The man alone is to blame for his broken hand,” and Thunder Bay police had no criminal liability whatsoever.

The SIU investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury, or an allegation of sexual assault.
