The officer allegedly ignored the accident and went further by avoiding traffic.
The journalists then tried to record the ensuing exchanges, but their actions irritated the police officers who seized them and physically badaulted them.
Two of the reporters received serious bruises, while Ms. Sambou, a badfeeding mother, was rushed to the Ridge Hospital Emergency Unit.

He added that they were then arrested after being badaulted, explaining:At the office, they asked to take my statement, but I insisted to write my statement only in the presence of my lawyer. As a result, they sent me back to the cell and urged the detainees to beat me up.
Sullemana added: "Some S. Nukunu who was at the counter hit me on the back several times. Moments later, ACP David Eklu, director of public affairs for the Ghanaian police, Effia Tenge DSP, public relations officer for the Greater Accra police, arrived in the company of lower-ranking police officers. David Agbenu, editor-in-chief of the Ghanaian Times, and Matthew Ayinne Ayoo, editor-in-chief of News, were waiting at the crime bureau. "
It is after that, he said, that he was released and handed a police form for treatment in a hospital.
