Chennai: A suspect, who was being taken to a police station in Chengalpet district by a sub-inspector of police on a two-wheeler, attacked the cop with a stone and fled the place on Thursday. In the attack, the SI suffered critical injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Chengalpet Government Hospital. 

According to a report on Times of India, a 45-year-old Sub-Inspector Chandrasekar attached to Salavakkam police station confronted a suspect who was behaving strangely during his patrol in the area. The suspect reportedly acted like he was parking the bike and urinating while the SI approached him. 

Hence, the SI started questioning the man but he kept giving contradictory answers. 

Therefore, the SI decided to take the suspect identified as Edamachi to the police station. The cop also sought help from a lorry cleaner to take Edamachi to the station.

Later, he took the suspect as a pillion on his bike and took the lorry cleaner as a third rider in order to avoid the suspect from fleeing the place.

However, when the SI reached a deserted place, the suspect attempted to strangle SI with bare hands until all the three men fell off the bike. The suspect then attacked SI with a stone and pushed the cleaner away. 

The cleaner immediately alerted the police who took the injured SI to Chengalpet GH for further treatment. The police are currently on the lookout to find the accused.
