A cop got his ear bitten off after a kombi crew decided to kidnap him over a traffic ticket. This wild scene went down in Harare last weekend. Officer Shadreck Jongwe pulled over a white Toyota van for a routine stop. The driver, Shepherd Kazingizi, was told to head to a lot to settle a fine. Instead, he hit the gas with the cop still inside.
The conductor, Takudzwa Pachavo, reportedly started wailing on Jongwe during the ride. Things escalated to a whole new level of violence. The dude just bit part of his ear off. The attackers then dumped the injured officer on the street near Rhodesville. He needed hospital treatment but got released later.
Police say the vehicle owner actually helped nail the suspects. Melisa Manon'ore stepped in, leading to the arrest of both the driver and conductor. Those two are now sitting in a cell. The incident shows how a simple traffic stop can spiral into pure chaos. It also highlights the risks officers face on a daily basis. The case is likely to proceed with serious assault charges.
