TORONTO, Ont. - A Toronto man is suing the police, alleging his shoulder was broken and then he was denied proper care after his arrest during last June's G20 summit.
In a statement of claim, Dorian Barton said he went to the legislature protest site on June 26 simply to observe and take some photos of the protest.
Barton said that the protest was peaceful until Toronto police stepped in. He alleged that officers in riot gear targeted random people for violent arrests.
While Barton was taking a picture of a police horse, he said he was knocked to the ground by an officer with a riot shield, following which he was 'viciously assaulted' by six officers.
He said he was in extreme pain for hours before he was taken to a hospital and treated for a broken soldier.
