The entire fight, arrest 'took place in less than a minute' on Granville Street in Vancouver
A Supreme Court of B.C. judge dismissed all but one"minor allegation" of use of force against Vancouver police officers in a 2015 arrest that left a woman with a broken nose.
Elwood agreed with Sidhu that the actions resulted in her broken nose, but found that the officer's use of force was"reasonable and proportional to the circumstances." He also found that the officers had reasonable grounds to arrest Sidhu. The woman from Aura, referred to as Ms. X, followed them across the street as four Vancouver police officers were patrolling the Granville Entertainment District, including constables Matt Oliver and Trevor Skates. The subsequent fight and arrest were caught on two CCTV cameras outside of Cabana.
Oliver is still holding Sidhu and when she starts to get to her feet. He said he was concerned Sidhu would try and rejoin the fight and he"believed it was necessary to take Ms. Sidhu to the ground in order to gain control of her and complete the arrest." Skates leads her away and she tries to pull away several times. He later handcuffs her without further incident, but then was concerned she would start a new disturbance as she started yelling and swearing at bystanders. He put her in a police vehicle.That's when Skates said he noticed a bump on Sidhu's forehead. She said she received it when an officer threw her to the ground, adding that an officer had also broken her nose. Skates disagreed she mentioned the broken nose.
