RCMP currently do not have any video recordings of the altercation. They are asking anyone who saw or recorded any of it to share this information.

“This incident happened in a busy area of downtown, at a busy time of the day, so may have been witnessed by people in the area. RCMP are asking anyone who witnessed or recorded the event to contact the RCMP,” states operational manager of the Yellowknife RCMP detachment Staff Sgt. Yannick Hamel.
