Quentin Schmidt, a resident of Godrej Apartment on Bellary Road, was standing outside a bar and restaurant on the wee hours of Tuesday when things started going awry, ending up with Schmidtand being arrested for the attack.Schmidt allegedly was in an inebriated state and was standing outside the bar in in front of the KMC bar at Byatarayanapura in Yelahanka sub division at 1.30 am. A team from the Kodigehalli police had gone near the bar to arrest another person, who was wanted in a crime case.The accused, whom the police were looking for, was with his two associates and all three of them started running when they saw the policemen. Seeing these three people running, Schmidt too started running as he was unsure about what was happening. Since the foreigner was standing near the other three, the police suspected that he too was part of the gang. They gave him the chase too and caught hold of him. Of the three others, the police managed to catch one.Immediately after he was nabbed, Schmidt is said to have started attacking the policemen with his helmet. As he was heavily drunk, he was brought to the station in a Hoysala patrolling vehicle, where he allegedly kicked the vehicle and attacked the policemen. For assaulting the policemen on duty, he was arrested and sent to jail.The victim of Schmidt, police constable KN Lakshmeesha, had to take treatment as an inpatient at a private hospital on Bellary Road. He is said to have got stitches for the cut wounds sustained on his left eye brow. The constable subsequently filed a complaint against Schmidt after which he was arrested and remanded to judicial custody.“Schmidt was under the influence of alcohol and after beating the police constable near the MNC bar at Byatarayanapura, he also assaulted the Hoysala patrolling police after he was picked and was being brought to the police station. Constable Lakshmeesha and Home Guard HG Keshava had gone near the bar looking for another accused, Muniraju, for creating ruckus near the Shabari bakery at Byatarayanapura and also threatening the bakery owner with a lethal weapon,” said an officer.Muniraju had created ruckus near the bakery during night and Lakshmeesha and the Home Guard had gone near the bakery looking for him, but by then he had escaped.While the police were looking for Muniraju, the police got to know that he was near KMC bar, consuming alcohol. The police then went near the bar and found Muniraju along with his two associates Manjunath and another associate.“Muniraju started running after assaulting and pushing the policemen. Two of his associates started running. Schmidt who was standing near them also started running in the confusion assuming that the police have come to catch him. Along with Schmidt, the police have managed to nab Manjunath, 26, of Amruthahalli,” the officer added.The officer said Schmidt could have asked the policemen about the incident, instead he panicked and assaulted the police constable with his helmet, due to which he was picked up and was being brought to the police station. He continued with the assault.Schmidt has been made accused number 1 in the case. He and the other three have been booked for assaulting a public servant from discharge of his duty (IPC 353) and causing grievous hurt to a public servant in the discharge of his duty (IPC 333).
