A man in his late 30s is in police custody after he allegedly tried to run over two police officers along Nasekula Road in Labasa yesterday afternoon.

The man who is from Namaka Village was under the influence of alcohol when he allegedly committed the offence after 4pm.

An officer tried flagging down the vehicle when the suspect allegedly swerved in the direction where other officers were standing.

One officer managed to jump on the footpath avoiding what would have been a serious accident, but the side mirror hit another officer.
