A man in Kuwait has been detained following a dramatic incident in which he allegedly ran over a police officer and crashed into two patrol vehicles.
According to a security source, the operations room received a report about a young man using narcotics inside his vehicle in the Jabriya area.
A patrol unit was dispatched to the scene, and the man, spooked by the officer’s presence, suddenly accelerated his vehicle, running over the lieutenant and deliberately ramming the patrol car that had been positioned to block his escape.
The suspect fled the scene, prompting the dispatch of multiple backup patrols to pursue him. During the chase, the suspect collided with a Public Security patrol car, causing significant damage. He was eventually subdued and arrested.
Officers found the man to be in an intoxicated state, incoherent, and unable to speak properly. A search of his vehicle uncovered several bags containing heroin, along with other used bags showing remnants of the same substance.
The suspect and the confiscated items have been referred to the competent authorities for further investigation to identify the source of the narcotics and determine whether the man was acting as a dealer or a user.
