Police officers at the Regional Security Commissariat in Tikiouine were forced to use their service weapons on Saturday evening to apprehend a 34-year-old individual with a criminal record who was in a heavily intoxicated state and posed a serious threat to citizens and police officers with a bladed weapon.
The incident stemmed from a complaint received by the police regarding an intoxicated individual armed with a bladed weapon causing chaos in a public establishment and assaulting people and property in the Al-Swiri neighborhood. Upon the arrival of the police patrol at the scene, the suspect refused to comply and violently resisted, even assaulting a senior police officer with the bladed weapon, necessitating his hospitalization for treatment.
Given the extreme danger posed by the suspect, police officers were compelled to use their service weapons as a precautionary measure, firing warning shots into the air before injuring the suspect in his lower extremities. This allowed them to neutralize the threat and apprehend him. The bladed weapon used in the assault was seized.
Both the injured senior police officer and the suspect were taken to medical facilities for treatment, pending completion of the investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor, to determine all the circumstances of the incident and the criminal acts attributed to the suspect.
