Two vendors who attacked municipal police officers have been dragged to court. The cops were arresting illegal vendors in Harare’s Central Business District when they were viciously assaulted.
Derreck Nyeke and Kelvin Chikono were nabbed after the attack
and dragged before a Harare magistrate. They were remanded in custody.
The court heard that the vendors were displaying their
wares on pavements along Cameron Street close to Flyover when they saw cops
confiscating wares. They collected their property and dispersed. They
re-organised and returned to beat up the cops.
A police Hino lorry, registration number AAE 8352, had its
quarter glass damaged. Police managed to
arrest the two and others fled from the crime scene.
