Share On

BC's police watchdog is investigating to determine whether police actions are linked to the injury of a man in Kamloops on Friday night.

RCMP say in a statement that an officer was on a routine patrol when he saw a fight in progress and placed one man under arrest for assault.

They say, "an interaction occurred" before the man was taken into custody and he complained of injury en route to the RCMP detachment.

The Mounties say emergency services brought the man to a local hospital, where it was determined he was suffering from serious injury.

Police released no further information as the province's police watchdog is investigating.
