Bangure who was armed with an AK 47 allegedly opened fire injuring Vumani Moyo who is a miner.
The miners hit the intruding cops with stones until they sped off in a private car.
During the flight from the scene, Bangure dropped the AK 47 rifle.
Reports suggest that the accused disembarked from a silver commuter omnibus and tried to arrest the owner of the mine, Thandiwe Moyo.
Other workers intervened resulting in the “police” firing and injuring Vumani before fleeing the scene living the rifle behind.
Police sources claimed that initial investigations revealed that the rifle, an AK 47 serial number ZRP2004 with 29 rounds and one used cartridge belonged to the ZRP.
