One of the eyewitnesses, Simon Anum said the rioters hurled bottles, cudgels at each other.Some had head wounds and bled profusely.According to him, the police intervened by firing warning shots to disperse the rioters.The Teshie Police, who declined to speak on record, however confirmed the incident to Joy News and assured the situation is under control.
