Marrakech: Sidewalks and wrong-way driving, the reckless driver who almost ran over a police officer arrested

The Marrakech police prefecture proceeded, on Saturday, January 17, to the arrest of a 36-year-old VTC driver operating for the InDrive application. The man is suspected of transporting passengers without authorization, refusing to comply, and deliberately endangering the lives of others during a traffic stop.

The police services caught the suspect in the act of unauthorized transportation. During the intervention, the individual refused to comply with the orders of the agents, drove on the sidewalk and fled in the opposite direction. These maneuvers directly endangered the life of a police officer as well as that of other road users. The facts were documented by a video widely circulated on social networks.

The research and investigations carried out by the security services made it possible to identify and apprehend the suspect during the afternoon. He was subjected to a judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office in order to clarify the circumstances and details of the case.
