An alleged corrupt cop who engaged undercover detectives in a struggle while being apprehended has been shot and injured in Willowdene, St Catherine.
It’s reported that about 6 p.m yesterday, the sting operation was set up to catch the policeman collecting money from a man whose car he had seized.
According to reports, after the policeman was caught accepting the money, detectives from the Major Organised Crime Investigation Agency approached him and identified themselves.
The policeman then attempted to escape.
He was pursued and a tussle reportedly ensued during which he was shot.
The policeman managed to escape but later turned up at hospital with a gunshot wound where he was treated and released into the custody of the police.
The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) is now probing the shooting.
