The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) is investigating an arrest that allegedly injured a woman in Lower Sackville, N.S., last week. RCMP officers responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of Dickey Drive around 4:50 p.m. on Friday, according to a news release from police. The officers learned a 63-year-old woman was allegedly breaching court-ordered conditions and they arrested her for criminal harassment and failure to comply. Police say the woman was injured during the arrest and went to hospital with a non-life-threatening injury. According to a separate news release from SiRT, the woman suffered an injury to her arm. The woman is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court at a later date. The matter was referred to SiRT, which handles all incidents involving serious injury, death, sexual assault and intimate partner violence that may have arisen from the actions of police in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
