Two officers from the Anti-Gang Brigade (BAG) were seriously injured in the early hours of Friday, August 4, while intervening on a road where a homeless man had been run over by a fleeing driver.
According to the communiqué of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), they were mowed down by another motorist, driving at high speed and in an advanced state of drunkenness. The faulty driver first hit a vehicle before losing control and hitting the police officers, causing them multiple fractures.
