The Cairo Prosecution unit detained a police officer on Tuesday, after he was accused of shooting a worker in Al-Khalifa district in Cairo over a personal argument. Preliminary investigations say that the police officer’s wife had an argument with the worker, leading the officer to intervene and shoot him. The worker was transferred to the Ahmed Maher hospital, where his relatives and friends gathered, protested, and demanded the officer be prosecuted. Last week, a similar incident took place on 4 September, when a microbus driver was shot at the hands of a non-commissioned police officer. At the end of August, a microbus driver was killed by a police officer after an argument.
