🇨🇦 Edmonton – Alberta | October 19, 2026
A video circulating on social media has sparked controversy over the use of force by police during a fight among several attendees at the UFC event held inside Rogers Place in Edmonton.
The clip shows a person wearing a uniform bearing the word POLICE intervening in the fight, before lifting one person and slamming them forcefully to the ground, as a number of attendees gathered around.
🎥 Circulating video
The scene raised questions about the nature of the security intervention and whether the force used was proportionate to the situation, particularly since the circulating video does not necessarily show all the events that preceded the intervention.
No confirmed official information was available regarding any injuries or arrests in connection with the fight, and it was not clear whether an investigation had been opened to review the incident.
The incident once again raises the issue of accountability and transparency in the use of force when handling incidents at major sporting events.
HANZALA stresses the importance of clarifying the circumstances of the incident, including the justification for the intervention and any possible injuries, while giving police and the parties involved the right to respond.
