Kane Niyondagara was chased by police in Orléans last month in a case of mistaken identity.
On Feb. 16, Kane Niyondagara was chased and arrested by Ottawa police in Orléans in a case of mistaken identity. Months after Ottawa police beat a young Black man in a case of mistaken identity, CBC News has obtained internal reports from the force that shed light on the severity of the violence, and what officers say they were thinking as they pursued the wrong suspect and attacked him with a stun gun.
Police rushed to the scene and confronted Niyondagara, who they believed was Bakal, after he left the Starbucks. They say he ignored commands and repeatedly moved his hands toward his waist. Some officers said Niyondagara appeared to be scoffing or smirking. Niyondagara previously told CBC that he dropped his hands and shrugged at one point in the encounter, as if to ask why they were confronting him.
Niyondagara kept running. Durocher caught up to him. In his report, he noted that the suspect they were looking for was considered armed and dangerous. Const. Marenda McCucheon said she fired twice from her Taser "as I was still concerned for this male having a firearm and was now running towards people in vehicles."
"The suspect continued to resist arrest, prompting me to use reasonable force to effect his arrest. As such, I struck the right side of the suspect's face once with a closed fist. This caused my right hand to bleed. I also delivered 2-3 knee strikes." Niyondagara previously told CBC that he was not resisting but was "just waiting for the handcuffs," while an eyewitness said he "didn't really seem to be struggling at all."0:21
