Eyewitness account
An eyewitness at the scene said that the driver had been pulled over by the police officers who then demanded his license, but the driver told the officers he left the license at home.
This resulted in a heated altercation between him and a female MTTD officer and he tried to assault her, said news outlet Pulse Ghana.
The witness added that the officers hit the driver in an attempt to tame and handcuff him, which the driver retaliated by hitting each of them back, resulting in the near fistfight.
The officers struggled to subdue the angry driver and had to be joined by some other men who claimed to be soldiers in plain clothes but the 'reinforcement' couldn’t help, said Pulse Ghana.
Bystanders could be heard in the video screaming ''the man is strong ooo'' repeatedly.
The witness further said the driver was eventually taken to the Dansoman police station for questioning.
