Video of ‘drunk’ police officer goes viral
A video of a KwaZulu-Natal police officer who appears to be drunk has gone viral.
The 32 second video, posted on Facebook by motorist Phil Tomlinson on Thursday, shows a confrontation between him and the unidentified policeman who was allegedly drunk. The policeman, who was driving a white VW Polo with a Pinetown number plate, is believed to have almost caused an accident, Highway Mail reported.
In his Facebook post, Tomlinson said the officer tried to drive his son off the road before attempting to run him over.
In the video, which was shared close to 17 000 times on Facebook, the motorist is seen confronting the police officer.
The motorist is heard saying: “You’re driving. You have a gun on your lap.”
The police officer responds: “Ja, ja”, and refuses to give the motorist his police card. Tomlinson can be heard saying: “You are going to be reported, my man. You are drunk, let’s get your face. I’ve got your face.”
The police officer then reverses the car before fleeing.
Police were not immediately available for comment.
