The province’s police watchdog has been called in to investigate after a suspect “interaction” with police in Hamilton.
Hamilton police say they were called to the Hunter Street East and Spring Street area after receiving a 911 call.
When they arrived, they found a man suffering from stab wounds. He was later pronounced dead.
Investigators say that a short time later, “officers had an interaction with a suspect” without providing any further details.
Hamilton police say they are investigating the incident as a homicide, while the Special Investigations Unit will examine the incident involving police and the suspect.
The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of police officials that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
