MDC-T youths went on to deflate the commuter omnibus’ front right tyre.
“Mandaza was rushed to Parirenyatwa for medical attention and he is reportedly in a stable condition,” said Insp Sabau.
“Twenty minutes later, four MDC-T youths approached a police officer who was monitoring the rally.
“One of the youths recognised him and asked what he was doing at their meeting.
“The four manhandled and dragged him for about 500 metres away from the meeting.”
The police officer was taken to a footbridge between Kambuzuma 2 and 3 where more youths emerged from a nearby maize field armed with knobkerries, stones and knives.
The youths punched and kicked the police officer and took away his Nokia E300 cellphone before he escaped with minor injuries.
Warren Park police officers were later called to the meeting with a back-up team and after the three suspects were arrested the rally continued.
