Cop finishes writing ticket after gunman shoots him in the back
- 8 years ago
CAPE TOWN / SOUTH AFRICA — Dashcam video released by the Cape Town police department shows one of their officers continue writing a traffic citation after he's shot in the back.
Officer Nizaam Alexander of the Cape Town police force may be the most diligent police officer we've seen. While dealing with the driver of a Mercedes Benz along South Africa's N2 highway, a man walking alongside the highway pulled a gun on the officer and demanded his firearm.
Alexander was shot in the back. Luckily, the officer was wearing a bulletproof vest and was able to take cover behind the car. The cop fired several shots while in pursuit of the suspect who managed to get away.
Backup arrived to deal with the shooting, but this cop didn't forget why he was out there in the first place. He proceeded to pick up where he left off and issued a ticket for driving over the yellow line.
The City of Cape Town's traffic services awarded Officer Alexander for his "professionalism and dedication to duty."
