Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-PCI-503
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU , including interviews with the Complainant and a police eyewitness, gives rise to the following scenario. As was his legal right, the SO did not agree an interview with the SIU . He did authorize the release of his notes. In the afternoon of December 5, 2025, the SO , operating an OPP cruiser with the WO his passenger, stopped a vehicle on Rymer Road in the area of Northshore Drive, Haldimand County. The Complainant was driving the vehicle. OPP officers had been on the lookout for the Complainant after he expressed suicidal ideations when he came to learn, earlier that day, that he was the subject of a sexual assault investigation. As the officers exited the cruiser to make their way to his vehicle, the Complainant accessed a knife and used it to inflict a serious laceration across the left side of his neck. The SO and the WO observed the wound, contacted paramedics and attempted to apply first aid. When the Complainant tried to prevent the officers from helping him, he was handcuffed to allow the SO and the WO to provide emergency care. The Complainant was transported to hospital and treated for a serious neck wound.
