Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after officers wrestled a man to the ground and he was later taken to a hospital with a cracked skull.<\/p>\n

The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba says Winnipeg police received a call Monday about an intoxicated man who had allegedly assaulted several people at the Ndinawe Youth Resource Centre.<\/p>\n

The agency says officers detained the man and took him to the city’s Protective Care Centre, a detox centre that can hold people for up to 72 hours.<\/p>\n

It says that during the handover to staff, the man started to resist and kicked an officer’s leg, prompting police to force him to the ground.<\/p>\n

The agency says officers knocked the man unconscious in their efforts to regain control of him.<\/p>\n

It says the man regained consciousness and continued to resist officers while being taken to the hospital, where doctors found the skull fracture.<\/p>\n

The watchdog says it’s mandated to investigate because the arrest involved serious injury.<\/p>\n
