The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) is investigating after a woman was seriously injured in an interaction with the Halifax Regional Police last month.
According to a Tuesday news release, Halifax police responded to a 911 call about a domestic dispute on July 16.
When officers arrived on scene, they attempted to take a woman into custody, bringing her to the ground in the process.
Once the woman was released, she went to the hospital where she was found to have a liver injury.
“Due to the serious injury sustained by the female, SiRT has assumed responsibility for this investigation,” reads the release.
