Watch Video: Kerala Sub-Inspector Disarms An Attacker In ‘Action Hero Biju’ Style 

A police chase and the officer hero single-handedly capturing a criminal is a tried and tested formula to portray a “mass” police officer. It is one of those cliché scenes that appear in almost all police movies and yet it manages to hook the audience, despite its repetitive nature. Therefore, it is no surprise that such an event in real life garners a lot of praise. Arun Kumar, a Kerala Sub-Inspector became a hero after he single-handedly disarmed an attacker who was holding a machete.

Swati Lakra, an IPS officer, shared the video on Twitter praising the courage of this Kerala police officer, and it went viral instantaneously. The video showed how the police vehicle approached the attacker who was seated on a scooter. On seeing the Kerala Sub-Inspector, he immediately unsheathed his machete. The attacker, identified as Sugathan, heaved the machete at the inspector, wounding him, and a scuffle broke out between the two of them.
