The Independent Investigations Office of BC is investigating an incident in Prince George.
At about 5:20 p.m. on April 25th, police responded to a reported disturbance caused by a man shouting and behaving erratically in a parking lot in the 100 block of George Street.
When officers arrived, they found a man matching the description provided by the caller in a nearby parking lot in the 100 block of Queensway.
Multiple officers responded and took the man into custody. A conducted energy weapon, or Taser, was used during the arrest, and the man was taken to the RCMP detachment cells.
Emergency Health Services were called to assess the man as he was believed to be in a state of psychosis. Paramedics transported him to a hospital where he was found to be suffering from a serious medical condition.
The police watchdog was notified of the incident and the investigation continues.
