THREE suspected Zanu PF supporters landed in the dock on Thursday after they stabbed a police officer while protesting against the arrest of their friend.
According to NewZimbabwe.com, Zonde Mushongwe, 30, Tinashe Gatya, 30 and Ellita Makwezva, 24, appeared before Harare magistrate Tilda Mazhande facing attempted murder charges.
The trio were not asked to plead and were ordered to apply for bail at the High Court since they are facing a serious offence.
It is the state's case that Tinashe Kachana was on duty on March 25 in Pentagon area and was dressed in his uniform when he arrested one Tich Mlambo.
Court heard Mlambo was charged with malicious damage to property and assault after he wrestled with another officer Thomas Simbanegavi over undisclosed dispute.
The three accused then allegedly became violent and started assaulting Kachana and stoned him all over his body and stabbing on the back of his head.
