A Saskatoon man suffered a life-altering injury after a cell door shut on his hand over the weekend.
Keaton Adamyk, 23, says he remembers little of the incident that left him missing two fingertips on his right hand.
"I just remember waking up in the hospital and my whole fingertip was gone and part of my other fingertip was gone," Adamyk said.
According to a police news release issued following the Oct. 22 incident, Adamyk was arrested for public intoxication and taken to police detention.
Police said he was "resistant to officer commands" and "reached his hand into the path of the closing door."
After he was released from hospital, Adamyk said he headed to Saskatoon police headquarters to see if he had been charged and learn more about how he lost his fingertips.
