A mobile policeman yesterday afternoon attacked three officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, and knocked one unconscious following an argument along Ashabi Cole off Lateef Jakande road Agidingbi in Ikeja.
Trouble started when LASTMA officials attempted to tow a vehicle parked before a bank that has been causing traffic. Law enforcement officers guarding the bank challenged the LASTMA officials and tried to stop them from towing the automobile that has been believed to belong to a bank customer. An arguement ensued and before anyone could stop it, one LASTMA official was rushed to a healthcare facility after having a police man gave him a head butt and smashed the butt of his gun into his face.

When other LASTMA officials saw what had happened to their colleague, they turned the entire scene right into a free for all show as both parties started arguing and fighting.
Head of LASTMA confirmed the incident and said the unconscious official is receiving medical attention.
