VIO Official Attacks Man for Taking Pictures of Him Fighting a Road User (Photos)

The victim, Mr Abu

A man was violently attacked by a Vehicle Inspection officer in an unspecified location for making a video coverage of an illegal act.  

Mr. Abu pictured above said he was attacked by a VIO official for trying to capture a fight between one of the officers and a road user.

Abu claimed he struck him on the nose and mouth after he refused to allow him seize his camera.

He wrote:

"I was trying to capture a video of a man fighting with a VIO staff and one of the VIO staff saw me from afar and crossed over to the other side where I was standing. He attempted to seize the phone and I refused, in the process of resisting him from dragging my phone. I got two blows on my mouth and nose.

Then I started bleeding...

Not because am physically weak and can not fight but my profession does not permit me to so do. Am taking recourse to the law and I hope to find justice, and most importantly, to deter them from further harassing innocent citizens"
