London, Ont., police say the Special Investigations Unit has been contacted after a 17-year-old was taken to hospital following his arrest Wednesday afternoon.
Police said Thursday that he was taken to hospital as a precaution and that “he has since been released.”
According to police, officers were called to an assault investigation in the city’s west end around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and found the suspect outside a residence with a weapon.
After an “interaction” between police and the suspect, police fired a blunt impact projectile, also known as a less-lethal firearm.
Police said the teenager continued to resist arrest and so officers then used a conducted energy weapon on him and finally took him into custody.
