Post charge office, lost his nipple during a savage attack at the
hands of a suspect arrested for disorderly behaviour in a public
place.
On November 13, Dhlomo Mduduzi (31) allegedly attacked Njanji in the
charge office, while the policeman tried to get his details for the
purposes of processing a fine.
"The suspect, who had been arrested for disorderly conduct, refused to
give police officers his name for the purposes of processing a fine.
Njanji, who was in the charge office at that time, tried to force
Mduduzi to submit his name, but he got angry and attacked the officer,
biting him on the chest," read the State outline.
Mduduzi, who appeared in court Thursday, pleaded guilty to assaulting
the policeman and biting off his nipple, but said he was unaware that
he was attacking a policeman since Njanji was not in uniform.
Provincial magistrate Taurai Manuwere sentenced Mduduzi to 10 months
in prison, but suspended six months for five years on condition of
good behaviour, while the other four months were suspended on
condition he pays a $500 fine.
Manuwere condemned the act of violence, saying Mduduzi had shown utter
disrespect by attacking a policeman in a police station.
