A former soldier Phakamani Moyo assaulted a police officer after accusing him of disturbing his sleep.
Phakamani Moyo (30) pleaded not guilty to the charge before Plumtree magistrate Joshua Nembaware on Friday.
Prosecutor Arnold Mudekunye alleged that on September 27, 2020 at around 3pm, the complainant went to house no C4 Dingumuzi to buy some fried chips.
Moyo’s girlfriend Ntobekho Nkomo did not have change and trouble started after she woke him up asking for loose money. Moyo accused the police officer of disturbing his peace and assaulted him.
The complainant sustained bruises all over the body and he reported the matter to the police.
Constable Ngwanyana and Kanengoni went to attend the scene to arrest Moyo, but he overpowered them. He threatened to stab them and they fled.
Moyo was later arrested when he went to the police station to report a case of theft.
He will be back in court tomorrow.
