As part of its ongoing efforts to curb dangerous traffic behavior and enforce the law firmly, the Ministry of Interior has announced the impoundment of two vehicles previously seized in cases involving recklessness and rash driving. The Ministry reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy toward any actions that pose a threat to public security and safety.

In a statement, the Ministry said it had apprehended two individuals in connection with an incident involving the assault of a member of the Traffic Investigations Department while he was carrying out his field duties in the Al-Wafra Farms area of Al-Ahmadi Governorate. The incident dates back to the evening of Thursday, December 18, 2025, when authorities received a report of a hit-and-run accident.

Specialized security patrols immediately responded to the report and determined that the incident occurred during an operation to apprehend a suspect driving a Nissan Z without license plates. The vehicle was reportedly being driven recklessly and irresponsibly in the Al-Wafra area.

According to the Ministry, while officers were carrying out the arrest procedures, the driver attempted to flee the scene on foot and tried to escape by boarding another vehicle, a Land Cruiser, also without license plates. During the escape attempt, the driver of the Land Cruiser struck one of the military personnel, causing injuries and lacerations to both of the officer’s hands and his left leg.

The injured officer was transported by ambulance to the Emergency Department at Sabah Al-Ahmad Hospital, where he received the necessary medical treatment and underwent examinations. He was later discharged, and the Ministry of Interior reassured the public that his condition is stable.

The Ministry stressed that reckless and rash driving, attempts to flee from law enforcement, and assaults on security personnel while they are performing their duties constitute serious violations that endanger lives and public safety. It emphasized that such actions will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

The Ministry further confirmed that the strictest legal measures will be taken against anyone proven to be involved in such incidents. These measures include the seizure and impoundment of vehicles used in reckless and dangerous acts, as well as referring the accused to the competent authorities, in accordance with the rule of law and in the interest of preserving the security and safety of the community.
