By A Correspondent- A drunk man caused a stir at a police station when he hurled insults before allegedly pushing and shoving a police officer accusing him of allegedly splashing water on an elderly woman.

According to a source, Abiashano Makatshini (31), who was visibly drunk walked into Western Commonage Police Station on Saturday last week at around 7.35pm.

“His shirt was unbuttoned. He went straight to the officer’s office. He accused him (name withheld) of having drenched a female adult with water earlier on in the day near a garage. An argument ensued between the two,” said the source.

The source added: “Abiashano who was in a no-nonsense mood spit venom at the police officer. The police officer tried to retaliate but was no match as the fuming Abiashano pushed and poked him in the face while insulting him grossly mentioning his anus. He was saying you police officers have a tendency of backing each other, I’m going to assault you later on.”

It took the intervention of a senior police officer to stop him from hurling insults at the cop in question.

“He had taken matters to a higher level as he was threatening to bash him if he dared to challenge him, saying he was a nonentity. At the height of the dramatic incident a senior police officer entered the office and quelled the mayhem,” said the source.

The man was arrested.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said:

“We arrested a man who pushed and insulted a police officer. We urge members of the public to abide by the law and not take the law into their hands.”
