In what could have been a repeat of the Vakola shootout, where an ASI shot a senior inspector before shooting himself, a constable from the Worli police station assaulted his senior inspector in the wee hours of Wednesday. Luckily, this time around, it was not with a gun, but a bamboo stick.

On Tuesday night, Constable Subhash Misal of the Worli police was sent to arrest a drunk man who was sitting on the roof of a house on Annie Besant Road. Upon reaching, he made phone calls asking for support staff. Jayant Sawant, a night duty inspector reached the spot to help him.
