A POLICEMAN has been arrested for allegedly abusing his position by ill-treating a Harare woman at a roadblock.

The court heard that she went on to report the incident, leading to the arrest of the cop.
The State alleges that he acted contrary to his duties as a public officer to the prejudice of the woman. Prosecutor Sebastian Mutizirwa appeared for the State.
