New Delhi: A head constable is currently battling for life, after he was struck by a overspeeding scooter, which pinned him to a police barricade in Geeta Colony early Sunday.
While two of the three men on the scooter managed to flee, one was caught by the cops at the spot.
Police said the incident took place around 1.30 am, when head constable Pramod was checking vehicles at the barricade.
Pramod saw the arrested accused driver Taufeek (20) and two of his friends out on a joyride, with none wearing helmets. When the head constable signalled them to stop, the panicked Taufeek rammed it into the cop. A senior police official said that there were four persons posted at the barricade.
The cops were part of a team formed to track down the criminals committing petty crime in Geeta Colony.
