A disturbing video has gone viral on social media, depicting a woman driver running over a police officer in Islamabad after a heated argument.

The incident began with a verbal altercation between the woman and the motorway police officers.

The situation escalated when the officer refused to let the woman pass, leading her to take the extreme step of driving her vehicle directly at another policeman who was standing directly in front of the vehicle.

The video footage shows the officer being thrown onto the bonnet of the car before falling to the ground. The extent of his injuries is unknown at this time.

A police car immediately rushed to chase the woman’s car, which also broke a barrier.

Sourced confirmed the authenticity of the video and said that the incident happened on January 1.

An FIR registered on January 2 said the woman was found overspeeding on the motorway and was stopped at the Toll Plaza to be issued a fine. She exchanged heated words with the police officers when they sought her details.

The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation across social media platforms, with many users calling for swift action against the woman driver.

Authorities are yet to issue a statement regarding the incident or any potential legal consequences for the woman involved.
