The police fired a warning shot in the air to overpower a rowdy sheeter who was allegedly trying to flee and arrested him on Friday morning.
Kiran, 28, whose name figures in the list of rowdies at the HAL police station, had in an earlier altercation allegedly attacked a police constable. He went into hiding after a case was registered against him and the police began to look for him.
On Thursday night, the police received a tip-off that he was hiding in New Thippasandra. A team led by HAL police inspector Azharuddin began a search for him and confronted him around 4.45 a.m. on Friday. When the police team tried to apprehend him, he allegedly tried to attack the personnel and flee. The inspector fired a warning shot in the air and asked Kiran to surrender, failing which he may have to be shot at. Following this, Kiran was overpowered and arrested, the police said.
