A policewoman who is eight months pregnant had to be treated for shock following an attack in Floriana yesterday by a man who claimed to be a warden.

The Police Officers Union within the General Workers Union said on its Facebook page that the man who was accompanied by his wife and child, refused to give way and started insulting her.

The policewoman told the association she asked the man not to swear in the presence of his son and showed him her police badge. She also told him she was pregnant but he continued to insult her.

She said that when she took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the number plate of the man's car, he went next to her car and and started banging on it.

He opened her door and was immediately held by his wife. The policewoman reported that he said he was a warden and he did not care about the police force.

She said she told him to calm down and removed her mobile phone. When he returned to his car, she again took out her mobile phone to call for assistance.

The policewoman said he returned to her car but she locked it from the inside and started videoing him.

His wife tried once again to calm him down but he was very aggressive and banged on her car window forcefully breaking the mirror on the driver’s side in the process.
