The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) has placed two officers on suspension after a video of them having an altercation with a man surfaced on social media.
In the video, a man in shorts and a black shirt, whose nose is bleeding, can be seen in an altercation with two officers. He is heard saying: “It’s alright, take the van keys — because you want money? You want the van’s key?”
One of the officers swears and starts throwing punches at the man who doesn’t fight back in the clip that was shared on social media.
“Take me, it’s fine, I am fighting for my [children] because I can’t give you money,” he said.
The man encourages the person taking the video to keep filming and continues to tell someone who cannot be seen in the video that the officials want money.
