A video showing traffic police officers forcibly putting a young man into a service vehicle spread on social networks, where one of the officers is seen hitting the citizen on the head.
The press secretary of the State Traffic Safety Service stated that this situation is being misinterpreted on social networks. According to reports, the incident took place on April 11 at around 23:50 in the city of Tashkent.
That day, traffic police officers signaled to stop a Spark car, which illegally had a flashing light installed without a state registration plate and had turned it on.
The driver did not comply with the officers' instructions and continued to move. He repeatedly disregarded the red traffic light, endangering his own life and the lives of others.
In the video released by the Traffic Safety Service, it can be seen that despite the warnings, the driver refused to leave the vehicle, resulting in the officers breaking the front windshield of the Spark car he was driving.
The issue of the driver's responsibility is currently being reviewed. In addition, a service inspection has been initiated against the traffic police officers.
The car has been placed in a penalty area.
