The driver exited the vehicle, and after a struggle, he was arrested.
He was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured nose.
The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Joseph Martino, has determined all the involved officers acted lawfully throughout their dealings with the man.
Accordingly, there is no basis for proceeding with criminal charges in this case and the file is closed.
