A video currently circulating on social media captures the moment an errant driver knocked a police officer off a bridge while trying to evade arrest in Lagos.
The unknown driver was said to have been driving against traffic when police officers and men of the Lagos State Traffic Management (LASTMA) nabbed him for violating the traffic law.
In a bid to evade arrest, the man driving a Toyota Highlander reversed and hit one of the police officers behind, throwing him off the bridge into a canal below.
Luckily, the officer survived the fall as he could be seen trying to swim out of the canal. The driver was then arrested.
