A policeman from Kerala fearlessly challenged a man wielding a large machete and defeated him. The policeman has received praise for acting promptly.
On social media, a video of a sub-inspector in Kerala valiantly battling and defeating a man brandishing a massive blade has gone viral. The Director-General of Police (DGP) praised the sub-inspector, Arun Kumar, for taking prompt action after the video went viral.
The Kerala state police agency honored him on Monday. He received a certificate of recognition from the DGP, Anil Kant.
According to Arun Kumar, he was on patrol when the incident happened.
“On June 12, an accused stopped my vehicle and attempted to assault me with a machete without any provocation, when I was on patrol duty,” he said as reported by ANI.
When Arun Kumar apprehended the suspect and found the weapon, he transported it to the police station. While fending off the attacker, the sub-inspector also needed seven stitches in his hand but was fortunate to escape with only minor wounds.
The accused had previously been the subject of a complaint, and Kumar had issued a warning to him. Later, the defendant used a machete to strike Kumar. However, Kumar swiftly outmatched him and later took him into custody. The accused’s weapon has also been taken into custody.
According to ANI, Arun Kumar said, “I caught him and seized the weapon and brought it to the station. He has been remanded. I have 7 stitches on my hand & no serious injuries… DGP appreciated me for my timely action.”
