“I’ve got questions about why Toronto Police Service didn’t provide medical assistance to this young man,” says lawyer and cycling advocate David Shellnutt.
A cyclist tackled to the ground by Toronto police officers for allegedly ignoring an order to stop suffered a head injury and concussion, his lawyer says.
David Shellnutt, a Toronto lawyer and cycling advocate, told the Star on Wednesday that the man, in his early 20s, hired him Tuesday — the day after Shellnutt released video of the incident — and is considering actions against police related to what he believes was excessive use of force.
Toronto police said that the cyclist was arrested and handed three provincial offence notices.
