A policeman was attacked with sharp weapons and injured on Friday after he put up a fight against some men harassing his wife in Bhola Sadar upazila.
Constable Enamul Bepari, 24, was rushed to an area hospital for treatment.
The police had detained one person in this connection and were trying to nab others involved, Superintendent of Police Md Saiful Islam said.
Enamul’s wife said they had gone on an excursion to Bok Par in the area, where around 10 men had started harassing her.
The police officer then got into an altercation with them over the matter, which soon snowballed into a merciless attack on him.
“They did not stop their assault even though he said he was a police officer,” she added.
