The province’s police watchdog has been called in after a teen was injured during an alleged vehicle theft investigation in Mississauga.

According to the Special Investigations Unit, Peel police were called to the area of Winston Churchill Boulevard and Thomas Street around 4 p.m. on Thursday.

Several youths fled the area on foot and bike patrol officers caught up with one of them, a 15-year-old man, who was arrested.

The SIU says the teen was transported to hospital for treatment of a serious injury.

Peel police previously said three people had been taken into custody but provided no further details.

The SIU is called in to investigate incidents involving police that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
