According to police, the man chased an officer following an accident involving their vehicles and attacked him with a sword.
Videos of the altercation were shared widely on social media. In one of the purported videos, the driver was seen chasing policemen with a sword in his hand. In another clip, the policemen were seen thrashing him with batons. Three policemen have been suspended in connection with the matter.
