Alberta’s police watchdog says Mounties may have broken the law when they arrested an autistic teen at a playground, but Crown prosecutors have recommended against charges.
The first officer to respond saw the teen playing on swings and in the sand, and followed him through the park while unsuccessfully trying to get his name. The teen left the park for about a half-hour. “The officers also discussed that the was not who they thought he was. Two officers came from behind the , grabbed his arms, and handcuffed him. The was yelping, making loud sounds, and yelling erratically,” Block wrote in the report.
ASIRT said the teen became increasingly agitated, hitting his head intentionally in the police vehicle and in his cell, where the handcuffs were removed. Paramedics took him to hospital to be treated for mild swelling to the front of his head and redness on his wrists.
