A PSP agent was angry about the successive thefts of materials from a house he was building in Ermesinde. Yesterday at 00:50, while leaving work at the São Mamede de Infesta police station, the 38-year-old policeman was passing by his house to check that everything was in order and came across a couple suspected of the thefts. He got into a hand-to-hand fight with the 50-year-old man, and both were injured: the PSP in the leg; and the suspect in the pelvic area.
The Judicial Police are investigating, but it may have been just one shot from a police officer’s pistol that hit them both. The 47-year-old woman accompanying the suspect was identified by PSP officers and released. Both men were taken to hospital. The PSP underwent surgery and was hospitalized. The suspect, who suffered minor injuries, signed a waiver of liability and was released from hospital.
The suspected couple fled the scene of the shooting of a police officer, but were soon caught on the same street. Moreover, the incident even led to the PSP calling for help from the GNR, which had an intervention squad nearby, operating to the teeth. * From NR/MK
