The assault followed a traffic offence and an accident involving a police officer who was using an unregistered motorcycle and the official Ghanaian Times vehicle, which was transporting the journalists to their various assignment venues. The 10 police officers who were not happy that the journalists had tried to record the accident and the ensuing exchanges between their driver and the police motor rider, pounced on the journalists and physically assaulted them. One policeman riding an unregistered motorbike hit the Ghanaian Times vehicle at about 8:45am and sped off. The Ghanaian Times driver chased and managed to block the policeman on the motor around Kinbu, a few metres away the accident scene.
