One Battlefords RCMP officer was injured while arresting a man Monday.
The suspect was not injured during the arrest that occurred after the suspect fled on a bicycle, but the officer sustained an injury to his shoulder. He was taken to hospital and was released shortly afterwards.
Police say the officer will make a full recovery and is being supported by the RCMP.
Several complaints were received over the weekend of April 2 about an adult male being involved in criminal activity.
Following an investigation, the man was identified and it was determined he had existing warrants for his arrest.
When the RCMP located the man and attempted to arrest him, he fled on a bicycle and was apprehended at a traffic intersection after a brief foot chase.
According to police, the arrest was captured on a private dash camera and police have obtained the footage for investigative purposes. In the footage those making the arrest are all members of the Battlefords RCMP Municipal Detachment. Some are in police uniform and some are wearing plain clothes.
RCMP say capturing of police activities on video is a common occurrence and many examples of this can be found on social media.
