‘They were trying to get the man out of the car, shouting, more police were arriving on to the scene and the man was fighting back.
‘I saw one injured policeman with an injury to his arm although it didn’t look severe. He was being tended to by another officer.

‘I didn’t see the car driving but the car had been left at the side of the road and an eye witness had said that he had driven towards the police car.’
The whole encounter lasted around one minute, she added.
Social media users suggested the alleged attacker was carrying a sword – while others said he was holding a machete.
