Peel Regional Police say one of their officers is facing assault charges following an investigation by the Police Professional Standards Bureau.
Police said the incident happened outside the Peel area while the officer was off duty.
Officer Jason Beccario, a 16-year officer, has been charged with two counts of assault, Peel police said Tuesday.
He has been suspended with pay under the provisions of the Ontario Police Services Act.
“Once the criminal proceedings are concluded, a hearing under the Police Services Act will follow,” the police said in a statement.
The charges have not been proven in court.
