Police are investigating a case of where a police officer was attacked at his home last night.
Chief of Investigations and Intelligence, ACP Biu Matavou says a team has been dispatched from the Valelevu Police Station to search and arrest those involved in the attack.
Matavou says the incident occurred at the officers home in Caubati and it is alleged a group of up to 10 men retaliated against the officer after he had allegedly intervened in a case involving one of their peers which led to his arrest.
He says the officer who stays near the scene of the incident had assisted a taxi driver.
The driver was involved in a confrontation between two men who refused to pay their fare upon arriving in Caubati.
Matavou says this eventually led to the arrest of the three men and were taken to the Valelevu Police Station.
He adds that one of the suspects has been charged with one count each of making off without payment, damaging property and assault.
However, last night it is alleged one of the suspects who was released came with a group of men to the police officer's home and assaulted him.
