Some five police officers have allegedly assaulted a broadcast journalist with Takoradi-based Connect FM, Eric Nana Gyetuah.
According to reports, the media practitioner was abused at a popular restaurant on Thursday, February 3, for taking pictures of some suspects in the company of police officers.
The suspects are believed to have killed a returnee from abroad two years ago, in the Western Region.
Eyewitnesses say both the officers and the suspects were hungry, so they stopped by an eatery to grab some food.
The sight of the suspects eating with their handcuffs intrigued the journalist who took pictures of the incident.
Upon noticing that Nana Gyetuah had taken shots of the suspects, the officers confronted him and demanded that he deleted the photos.
According to reports, the journalist refused to comply, thus leading to the angry cops allegedly beating him to a pulp.
The journalist suffered swollen eyelids with blood oozing from his swollen mouth and was subsequently handcuffed sent to a Police station.
Nana Gyetuah is said to have since been released and given the necessary medical attention.
