Good Samaritans trying to help an injured biker bleeding on the road were taken aback when constables on the spot not only refused to help them but, in fact, actively tried to prevent them from rescuing the victim.

The 26-year-old biker had broken his leg after a BEST bus knocked him down while he was distracted by the posse of traffic policemen waiting to catch helmet-less motorists. Even as he was bleeding profusely, cops just stood by, waiting for the police van to arrive. When locals tried to take him to hospital, one of the do-gooders received a slap from a cop. The locals stood their ground and insisted on helping the victim, though they lost precious time arguing with the police. One can guess that the victim's life was at stake, with the amount of blood he had lost on the road.
