The Territorial Police in KMP East and Naalya Division are investigating a random violent incident of sack throwing, against a motorist identified as Muhammad Muzammil which occurred along the Northern bypass, just before Kiwatule overhead bridge by a criminal gang that was targeting motorists. The aim of such attacks is to force motorists to stop along the road or highway, to check their motor vehicles. And it is during that process that, gang members, pounce in and attack. Other dangerous tools used include; boulders, rocks, sharp instruments, dirty water and sticky substances on the wind screens, thrown at the motor vehicle to purposely distract or jam the motor vehicle.
We would like to thank the motorists Muhammad Muzammil for his defensive skills and for sharing his ordeal with the public for better vigilance on the road.
We further urge all motorists to practice or refresh their defensive or evasive driving techniques, when in the face of danger. These include; car cornering and other precise maneuvers, outpacing an attacker, reversing at terrible speed, driving through the obstacle where possible or even hooting for serious help.
Meanwhile, our intelligence, operational and IT teams, continue to troll the CCTV footages, around the area and gather intelligence that can help us identify the culprits and bring them to book.
