Details of the Assault and Subsequent Arrests
In a significant law enforcement operation earlier this week, the Anti-Gang Unit of the Judicial Police in Meknes arrested four individuals aged between 22 and 30 years. These arrests were made following their suspected involvement in a serious assault on the administrative officer of the eighth administrative district in Meknes, specifically in the Al-Bassatine 7 neighborhood of the "Boukrâa" area. Reports indicate that the suspects appeared to be under the influence at the time of the incident.
According to initial reports, the assailants surprised the administrative officer by forcibly removing him from his service vehicle. They proceeded to assault him with sharp weapons, an act that left onlookers shocked and outraged. In addition to the physical assault, the suspects vandalized the vehicle by breaking its windows before fleeing the scene, taking advantage of the chaos they had created.
Despite attempts by some citizens to intervene and stop the assault, the assailants managed to escape to an unknown location. This prompted an immediate response from various security forces and local authorities, who arrived at the scene with forensic teams and civil protection units to assess the situation and gather evidence.
The injured officer was swiftly transported to the emergency department of the military hospital, where he is receiving essential medical treatment. Meanwhile, judicial authorities have launched an investigation to ascertain all circumstances and details surrounding this attack.
In a commendable effort, the Anti-Gang Unit quickly identified the four suspects and apprehended them within a short period. They have been placed under police custody as part of the ongoing judicial inquiry, which aims to explore all potential connections and implications related to this incident.
