Vancouver Police have settled a lawsuit with Yao Wei Wu — a man who was roughed up when officers got the wrong address.
The case was set to go to a civil trial in the near future, but Wu’s lawyer, Cameron Ward, confirms it’s been called off.
“Unfortunately, I can’t say anything more than that because of the terms of an agreement that was reached between the parties.”
In January 2010, Wu was punched and arrested in a case of mistaken identity where two plainclothes officers thought they were stopping domestic violence against a mother with her baby.
B.C.’s Police Complaint Commissioner is appealing a court ruling that quashed a public hearing into the actions of the two officers.
