A police officer from the motorcycle unit in Marrakech discharged his service weapon Thursday to neutralize a mentally unstable man who posed a serious threat to public safety, authorities said.
According to Hespress security sources, the suspect, who appeared to be in an abnormal mental state, was wielding stones and a knife. He reportedly injured a foreign tourist with a facial wound during the incident, prompting the officer to intervene.
The officer fired his weapon, striking the suspect in the lower limbs to prevent further harm.
The suspect was taken to a hospital and placed under medical supervision as part of a judicial investigation ordered by the public prosecutor. Authorities are working to determine the full circumstances and motives behind the incident.
The injured tourist received necessary medical treatment at a local hospital.
