Winnipeg police say a man in his 30s died Sunday after being arrested by officers.
Const. Rob Carver said officers were called to the scene on Sunday at about 4 p.m. on Flora Avenue near Parr Street and found an “agitated man” who had blood on him and appeared to be carrying a weapon.
Police chased the man briefly and arrested him, said Carver.
He then became unresponsive, said Carver, and paramedics were called to transport the man to hospital.
