The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba is investigating an incident that sent three people to the hospital with serious injuries.
A suspect and two police officers required medical care after a police cruiser struck them Saturday morning.
The Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) says the two officers in the 600 block of Manitoba Avenue were trying to arrest a suspect who was in a stopped taxi. The Winnipeg Police Service says this is part of a drug investigation.
The male suspect then fled the taxi on foot at 10:54 a.m. While chasing the man, they were all hit by a police vehicle that was being driven by a third police officer.
