Four members of the New Westminster Police Service's major crime unit are conducting the independent investigation into an incident in Terrace where a man in police custody sustained a head injury.
On Friday, April 21, at approximately 6 p.m., Terrace RCMP responded to a complaint of a possible impaired driver.
RCMP members arrested a 47-year-old man and took him into custody.
While in police custody, the man had to be physically restrained by the police. He suffered a head injury and was taken to the local hospital three times during the night.
Doctors then determined that the man should be transported to Royal Columbian Hospital for medical care.
