They went back to the scene of the scuffle and found an injured man with gunshot wounds.

‘The officers who made the arrest were still on their way to report for duty when they saved a man’s life and caught his assailant. It’s testament to their dedication to preserve law and order and their commitment to serving our communities,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith.
