An Ontario police oversight agency said it is investigating two cases of police operations during the protest against COVID-19 mandates in the nation’s capital on Feb. 18 and 19, including one incident where a civilian was seriously injured.
In a news release issued Feb. 20, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said a 49-year-old woman “has a reported serious injury” following an “interaction” with a Toronto Police Service officer on a horse at roughly 5:14 p.m. on Feb. 18 on Rideau Street and Mackenzie Avenue in Ottawa.
