The incident which infuriated his colleagues also pounced on the other group resulting in a free-for-all fight in the area.
The cause of the gang clash, according to residents was triggered by a fight over a young lady in the area who was an object of interest to members of both gangs. But the Tema Regional Police PRO, ASP Juliana Obeng said the police cannot confirm that claim.
