A policeman who was driving his private motorcar asked them to move the motorcars so that he could pass.

Instead the men allegedly assaulted the policeman.

The policeman was slapped in the face and chest.

It is alleged that Bounty Killer pulled a firearm during the incident.

A report was made to the police and statements were collected and submitted to the DPP who ruled that Bounty Killer and the former policeman must be charged.
