Manitoba's police watchdog says injuries to a man in police custody were caused by the man's own actions.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba investigated complaints from a man who was arrested on April 2 at a home on the Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation.
The Dakota Ojibway police went to the home to execute an arrest and the man surrendered without injury.
He was taken to RCMP cells in Portage la Prairie and was taken to Portage hospital on April 4 and admitted for treatment.
The IIU says it reviewed files and closed circuit video from both police agencies and found the man's injuries resulted from both a pre-existing medical condition and self-inflicted actions.
It says there is no evidence that any officer injured the man or denied him treatment.
