KITCHENER -- Ontario's police watchdog says there will be no charges handed out for a Brantford police officer who shot an anti-riot weapon at a man fleeing from them.
Officers were executing a search warrant of a residence on Rawdon Street back on July 27 when a 40-year-old man fled from the home, according to a Wednesday news release.
Officials say that once the man was on the roof of a neighbour's home, officers discharged the Anti-Riot Weapon Enfield (ARWEN), a weapon that fires either foam, wood, or tear gas payloads, as well as a different, taser-like weapon.
The man was not seriously hurt as he was arrested, according to the Special Investigation Unit (SIU).
