No charges for Toronto police officer who drove over woman’s feet

No criminal charges will be laid against a police officer who drove over a woman’s feet while she was jaywalking in downtown Toronto, according to the province’s police watchdog.

The incident took place last October.

The Special Investigations Unit said a 57-year-old woman was walking south on the west side of Simcoe St. approaching Richmond St. W.

She began to cross the road at the Richmond St. W. intersection, which does not have a crosswalk.

According to the SIU, a police cruiser was slowing to a stop just past the intersection and made contact with the woman on the front right side of the car.
