According to reports, the woman was taken into custody on Wednesday evening in the area of Main Street and Redwood Avenue. The Winnipeg Police Service has confirmed that the woman was arrested for an outstanding warrant.
Upon arrival at the police station, officers noticed that the woman had visible injuries. As a result, the Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) was notified and has since taken over the investigation.
The IIU is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police officers in Manitoba, including those that result in serious injury or death. They have stated that they are currently in the early stages of their investigation and are unable to provide any further details at this time.
The woman’s current condition and the extent of her injuries have not been disclosed. It is also unclear at this time what led to her arrest and how she sustained her injuries.
The IIU has asked anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information to contact them at 1-844-667-6060.
The Winnipeg Police Service has stated that they are fully cooperating with the IIU’s investigation and will not be providing any further comments on the matter.
