The series of attacks on security men continues, the last of which happened in the suburb of Rawdah when a violator of the traffic law was stopped by a patrolman because he had fitted an exhaust in his car that made annoying sounds.
When the officer asked the motorist to show his ID, he refused and instead sought the help of his friends who rushed to place and attempted to attack the patrolmen forcing one of the officers to fire in the air when one of them attempted to grab the officer’s service revolver. The suspects fearing for their life escaped from the scene but the police have recorded the plate numbers of some of them and they are expected to be summoned for interrogation.
The main culprit who is in police custody had his car impounded and taken to a police garage.
