An incident in the south end of the city early Tuesday morning has led to an investigation being launched by the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba.
At around 3:11 am that morning, Dauphin RCMP were alerted about a man having a mental health crisis in a hotel room along Main Street South.
The man left the room before police could arrive, but he was located later in a dense bush area.
The police dog service was called in, and the man suffered a dog bite and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.
Because the incident resulted in a serious injury, the IIU is mandated to conduct an investigation.
Witnesses or anyone with information or video footage are asked to contact the IIU toll-free at 1-844-667-6060.
