A Niagara Regional Police officer will not face charges after a man was injured during an arrest.

On August 30th, officers tried to arrest a man for impaired driving, but he refused to stop.

The man was taken to hospital in critical condition.

Special Investigations Unit Director Joseph Martino says there are no reasonable grounds to believe the officer in question committed a crime.
