A Niagara Regional police officer has been cleared of doing anything wrong after a man's shoulder was hurt during an arrest.

He was loaded into an ambulance after a seizure, but telling police he wanted to go home.
Police add he tried to hit an officer twice, walked away toward traffic, and fearing for his safety, police tased him twice.
The man fell to the ground before being handcuffed.
