    Quebec Man Sues Provincial Police For $635,000 For Alleged Beating

    The Canadian Press, 05 Oct, 2017 04:19 PM
      MONTREAL — A man is suing Quebec's provincial police for $635,000 for an alleged beating that took place in a holding cell.
       
      Jean-Francois Emard's lawsuit alleges officer Bruno Landry attacked him in Oct. 2014 in a cell at a provincial police station in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Que.
       
      Emard says he was never examined or treated for his injuries despite repeated requests.
       
      Emard alleges the assault left him suffering from serious physical wounds as well as anxiety.
       
      The claims in the lawsuit have not been proven in court.
       
      Emard's lawyer Steve Hanafi said the lawsuit filed Thursday in Montreal names Landry, Quebec's department of public security and Quebec's attorney general.
       
      Landry pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of assault in June 2016 and obtained a conditional discharge.
