Vancouver Officer No Longer On Patrol After Arrest

One of two Vancouver police officers being investigated after a controversial arrest last Thursday is no longer on patrol.

He has been assigned to desk duty.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has been advised of the move.

Police Chief Jim Chu offered a personal apology to 44-year-old Yao Wei Wu after he was roughed up by police who went to the wrong address while investigating a domestic violence complaint.

Wu had to be taken to hospital to have facial injuries treated.

He didn't know the plainclothes officers were police because he doesn't speak English.

He also says he didn't resist them because they had guns.
