A police messenger suffered cuts and bruises when he was knocked off his scooter by a trailer truck yesterday afternoon.

Sources said the 32-year-old policeman, stationed at the Central Delivery Office (responsible for handing out court summons), was driving near Portes des Bombes, in Blata l-Bajda, when he was hit by the heavy vehicle.

The truck driver has not been identified and, although it could potentially turn out to be a hit-and-run case, it has yet to be established whether he even realised he had knocked over the policeman.
