CCTV footage of the incident posted by Swati Lakra, a Telangana IPS officer, shows the attacker pulling out a big machete and charging at the sub-inspector as soon as he gets off his jeep.
However, the officer who appears to be well versed in hand-to-hand combat keeps his cool and wrestles the rogue to the ground and snatches the weapon while people run helter-skelter to save themselves.
The incident is reported to have taken place at the Para Junction near Kayamkulam in Kerala while the officer was on surveillance duty.
The attacker has been identified as Sugathan a native of Nooranad village in the area.
