The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) says it is ending its investigation into a man’s arrest in Yarmouth, N.S., last month. The RCMP responded to a call at a home in the town the night of Oct. 5. A man and a woman were found at the home and arrested. The man and the officers reportedly struggled during his arrest. He went to hospital the next day and reported being diagnosed with serious injuries. SiRT received a referral from the RCMP on Oct. 7 and began investigating. “Following initial investigative steps, it was confirmed that the male had not sustained serious injuries, and the file has therefore been closed,” reads a news release from the team. SiRT is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
