An Ottawa police officer has received a conditional discharge after assaulting a handcuffed boy in custody for mental health issues at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in 2022.On Thursday, Const. Muhammad Khan received a conditional discharge with 12 months of probation for assaulting a 13-year-old boy in November 2022.
He must perform 100 hours of community service, attend counselling if ordered to do so by a probation officer, not communicate with the victim or his family, and pay a $100 victim fine surcharge. The mother and sister had barricaded themselves inside a bedroom and, within 30 minutes of police arriving, the officers took the boy into custody under the Mental Health Act, believing he could harm himself or others.
The Ottawa police professional standards unit will now conduct its own investigation into Khan under the Police Services Act.
