While attempting to investigate the initial call for service, an altercation occurred between officers and another subject, Martin said.
“Chief Walter will ensure that a thorough and complete investigation is conducted into the incident,” the mayor continued. “The investigation will include interviews, a review of any body-worn camera footage, videos seen on social media or provided by the public, and any other documentation.”
The incident remains under investigation. The name of the officer has not been released by the department or mayor.
Anyone with information regarding the incident has been asked to contact investigators at the Havre de Grace Police Department by calling (410) 939-2100.
