The Sanjaynagar police on Wednesday opened fire and caught a 22-year-old rowdy-sheeter who allegedly attacked a police constable in a bid to escape from being arrested in Bhoopasandra.
The injured police constable Mallappa and the accused Sharanappa have been hospitalized.
Police said Sharanappa, who was involved in over 11 criminal cases, had attacked a man with a sword three days ago over a trivial row, and threatened passers-by by flashing the lethal weapon at them.
