The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is investigating after a man suffered life-threatening injuries Thursday after allegedly fleeing from Vancouver police. In a statement, Vancouver police say the man tried to escape from a third-storey window. Police said the incident occurred at a home near the intersection of East Hastings and Columbia streets just after 2 p.m. PT. Police investigators were at the home to execute a search warrant, police said, when the man in his 50s allegedly fled out the window and fell to the ground. The IIO is a civilian oversight agency that examines officer-related incidents resulting in death or serious harm.
