But being bitten by a rowdy couple would be the last “hazard” any cop would expect in the line of duty. But that’s exactly what two policemen experienced in Kuching, Sarawak.

According to Kuching police chief ACP Abang Ahmad Abang Julai, the incident occurred about 2am in Jalan Matang Baru, when policemen flagged down a couple in a Perodua Kancil, during a road block.

When the cops checked the vehicle’s boot, the couple got abusive and started scolding the policemen using vulgar words.

The 44-year-old male suspect even tried to snatch the HK-MP5 held by a Lance Corporal manning the roadblock, while his 41-year-old wife unbuttoned her shirt and flashed at them, daring them to arrest her. She was then arrested with the help of a policewoman.

It was during the process of arrest that the suspects bit the hands of two policemen – a Lance Corporal and a Constable.

The police believe the jobless couple were intoxicated, and have remanded them for four days to facilitate investigations.

The case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the discharge of his public functions.
