A man who suffered a broken collarbone during an arrest in Brampton last fall was not the victim of unlawful police conduct, Ontario\u2019s police watchdog has concluded.<\/p>\n

In a report released Saturday, Special Investigations Unit (SIU) Director Joseph Martino said there were no reasonable grounds to believe Peel Regional Police officers committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n

The SIU, Ontario\u2019s civilian agency that investigates incidents involving police where there has been death, serious harm, the discharge of a firearm at a person or allegations of sexual assault, invoked its mandate following the arrest on Oct. 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

According to the SIU, members of Peel police\u2019s Special Enforcement Bureau were conducting surveillance related to firearms offences and planned to execute a search warrant at the man\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n

Officers located a 36-year-old man in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons at 156 Sandalwood Pkwy. E. shortly before 12:40 p.m. and moved to arrest him.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the man was taken to the ground during the arrest and subjected to knee strikes. A Taser was discharged before he was handcuffed.<\/p>\n

The man later complained of shoulder pain and was transported to Brampton Civic Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a fractured right collarbone.<\/p>\n

In his decision, Martino said officers were acting lawfully in attempting to arrest the man, who was wanted for unlawful possession of a firearm and was believed to pose a potential risk.<\/p>\n

While the injury took place during the arrest, Martino concluded the evidence did not establish that the force used by officers was excessive or unjustified under the circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs such, there are no reasonable grounds to believe that either subject official committed a criminal offence,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

The SIU has closed the case and no charges were laid.<\/p>\n
