3 Injured As Police Officer Shoots At A Kombi
3 people were hospitalised after they were injured when the combi they were travelling in was shot by a police officer manning the Mbavuku turnoff roundabout in Harare, The Herald reports.
The traffic police officers had signalled the driver to stop more than twice and he refused and continued on his way until the police officer found him parked near MMCZ. The officer reportedly fired 2 warning shots in a bid to stop him but he didn’t resulting in the officer attempting to decimate the tyres and injuring people in the process.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident and revealed the driver was facing attempted murder charges.
The police found out that the driver had no driver’s licence and failed to obey police instructions to stop. There was no route authority, vehicle licence and passengers’ licence.
As police, we want to apologise for this unfortunate incident which could have been avoided if the driver had taken heed of police instructions. We also urge commuter omnibus owners not to employ unlicensed drivers. We urge drivers to stop at all police checkpoints and to comply with instructions
