Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has discontinued an investigation into an incident from September of last year where a Cobourg woman was reportedly injured.
Back on Sept. 15, 2025, the SIU stated a woman contacted the Cobourg Police Service and disclosed that she had engaged in self-harm.
Officers were dispatched to her residence, and upon arrival, located the woman with a laceration across her neck.
She was apprehended under the Mental Health Act and during that apprehension, the woman actively resisted officers’ attempts to provide interim medical attention and struggled throughout the restraint process while officers attempted to gain control and restrain her safely.
The woman was transported to the hospital for evaluation and released the next day.
A week later on Sept. 22, the woman attended the police station to report she had suffered a fractured arm when two male officers restrained her the week prior.
