Four people have been injured in an attack on the police in Tangail. Five people have been arrested in connection with the incident, reports bdnews24.com.
The attack took place on Tuesday midnight in the city's Barochon area, Amir Hossain, officer-in-charge (OC) of Sakhipur thana, said.
However, police did not make a statement on the possible motives of the attackers.
OC Amir said the policemen were heading back to the thana in a pick-up van after a raid.
"When the van arrived at the Sakhipur-Sagordighi road, the attackers blocked the road with a tree and ambushed police with wooden sticks. They also detonated cocktail bombs. The police fired 19 bullets in self-defence," said Amir.
The four injured policemen were admitted to the Sakhipur Upazila Health Complex.
Preparations are underway to file a case against the five detainees, said Amir.
