TORONTO (CP) — A Toronto man is suing the police, alleging his shoulder was broken and he was denied proper care after his arrest at the G20 summit.
In a statement of claim Dorian Barton says he went to the legislature protest site on June 26 to observe and take pictures of the protest.
Barton alleges the protest was peaceful until Toronto police officers in riot gear rushed in and targeted random people for violent arrests.
Barton says while he was taking a picture of a police horse he was knocked to the ground by an officer with a riot shield and then "viciously assaulted" by six officers.
Hours after complaining of extreme pain, Barton says he was brought to the hospital and treated for a broken shoulder.
