Manitoba’s police watchdog say they’re investigating an arrest near Dauphin, Man. which left a man with three broken ribs.

The Independent Investigation Unit says on Tuesday RCMP tried pulling over a man who was speeding and driving a motorcycle dangerously on Highway 5 near Dauphin.

Other units arrived when multiple attempts to stop him were unsuccessful.

During the suspect’s arrest a police dog was used to restrain him before more force was used by officers which resulted in “serious injuries” and a visit to the hospital, the IIU said in a press release.

Anyone who may have seen what happened or has information is asked to call police.

As the investigation is ongoing no further details were provided.
