The Special Investigations Unit says a group of youths reportedly didn’t pay the transit fare at the TTC Finch West station <\/p>\n

Ontario’s police watchdog says it is investigating after a 14-year-old boy was seriously injured during his arrest<\/a> at a Toronto transit station last month.<\/p>\n

The Special Investigations Unit says a group of youths reportedly didn’t pay the transit fare at the TTC Finch West station around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n

The SIU says two officers confronted the youths, leading to an interaction with one of the boys.<\/p>\n

The watchdog says the boy was arrested and released then later went to hospital, where he was diagnosed with a serious but not life-threatening injury.<\/p>\n

It says police learned of the boy\u2019s injury on Oct. 9 and reported it to the SIU the same day.<\/p>\n

The SIU says three investigators have been assigned to the case, and one subject officer and one witness officer have been designated.\u2028<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Special Investigations Unit says a group of youths reportedly didn’t pay the transit fare at the TTC…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":955901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194291],"tags":[49,48,326650,3302],"class_list":["post-955900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-siutoronto-police-officer-under-investigationfinch-west-ttc-assault","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=955900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/955901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=955900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=955900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
