SUDBURY, Ont. -- A Sudbury, Ont., police officer is facing an assault charge arising from an incident in which a man is seen in video being shoved into a window while in custody.
Const. Christopher Labreche was charged with assault Monday after a hearing in Sudbury in relation to the incident last June 8.
Video from Sudbury police headquarters that day shows an officer pushing a man face-first into a window.
Tanner Currie, who was 20 years old at the time, alleges the officer used excessive force against him when he was arrested for public intoxication and resisting arrest -- charges that were later dropped.
Sudbury police said last year that an internal investigation had cleared the officer of any wrongdoing.
