The Special Investigations Unit has launched an investigation after an Ontario Provincial Police officer shot a man with an anti-riot weapon on Friday night in Huron County.
Investigators say at around 3:30 p.m. officers were called to a residence in Seaforth in relation to a man in distress.
They say officers entered the residence and found the man and believed a knife was involved.
One officer then fired an Anti-riot Weapon Enfield twice and the man was apprehended under the Mental Health Act.
Investigators say the 26-year-old man was taken to hospital but wasn't seriously injured.
The SIU is asking for any information or footage that could help with the investigation.
