SINGAPORE: A police officer opened fire at a vehicle in the wee hours of Saturday morning to avoid being run over.
According to the police, a man had driven against the flow of traffic and tried to run over the officer to evade a road block shortly after 1am.
As his life was in imminent danger, the officer drew his revolver to fire a single shot at the front wheel of the car. No one was injured and the public was not endangered at any point in time.
The 48-year-old man, who was driving without a licence, was arrested and charged in court on Saturday morning. Investigations are ongoing.
The incident took place at the junction of Kreta Ayer and Neil Road during an anti-drink driving operation to ring-fence pubs and nightspots in the area.
Twenty-six drink drivers were nabbed, including a woman, bringing the total number of people caught so far this year to 1,350.
Those caught on Saturday morning were aged between 26 and 55 years old. Most of the drivers were in their 20s and 30s.
The highest breathalyser result clocked was 72 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – double the prescribed legal limit of 35 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
Police also said a total of 29 persons were summoned for other traffic-related offences.
