A violent Energy Park fuel attendant who assaulted two cops in a bus in Chipinge has been jailed.

Johannis Bako Saunyama (26) was sentenced to two years in jail by Chipinge magistrate Nixon Mangoti.

The court heard that Saunyama was on an Inter Africa bus on September 2, where he met two officers clad in police uniforms.

The officers were with their accused person, whom they had collected at Chakohwa, going to Chipinge.

The cop discovered some dagga in the bus and tried to arrest the driver and conductor.

Saunyama, who was on board and wanted to go, denied the cops access to arrest the bus crew.

He further went on to remove the bus key from the ignition and started assaulting the two cops.

The cops were overpowered and begged for mercy.

They further begged the driver to drive to Chipinge police station, where Saunyama was subsequently arrested.
