The suspect was one of several men who attempted to rob a female motorist in the Gerehu suburb on Friday 5th of May.
According to NCD Central Commander Assistant Commissioner, Anthony Wagambie Junior, the robbers brandished homemade guns and knives while trying to rob the motorist. However, the arrival of a police vehicle caused them to flee in panic.
During the commotion, the lone policeman reportedly shot the suspect, who fell to the ground. The officer recovered the suspect's homemade gun, a knife, and a bilum while waiting for backup to arrive.
