Two London constables charged with assaulting a man remain on duty, police said Monday.

“They have not been suspended. Their duties have not changed,” London police spokesperson Const. Michelle Romano said.

Const. Theresa Clayton is facing one count of assault causing bodily harm and Const. Jeff Lake is facing one count of assault, Ontario’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit, announced Monday.

According to the SIU, London officers responded to a call early afternoon June 16 to a plaza at Base Line Road East and Wharncliffe Road South.

An incident involving a 40-year-old man began there and continued in front of an apartment building on Highland Avenue.

The man suffered injuries that required hospital treatment, the SIU said.

The two officers are to appear in court May 29.

Neither the SIU nor London police provided further comment, saying the matter is before the courts.

The SIU investigates civilian deaths and serious injuries involving police actions, and is empowered to lay criminal charges.
