“Upper Tugela police officers responded to a report of domestic violence at Dukuza near Bergville,” said Brig Jay Naicker, the provincial police spokesperson.

“On arrival at the scene they were confronted by the suspect who became very aggressive towards the police officers. The suspect attacked both police officers with a hoe which resulted in one police officer being injured on the head while the other was injured in the arm.”“The 29-year-old suspect was placed under arrest on charges of attempted murder and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The injured police officers were taken to hospital for medical attention,” said Naicker.
