LAHORE: On Monday, police in Lahore claimed to have apprehended a man who had misbehaved and attacked an anti-polio team.

According to authorities, when the anti-polio team arrived at his home to deliver anti-polio drops to youngsters under the age of five, a guy called Imtiaz misbehaved with the staff. From his house’s roof, the man also flung bricks at health workers.

The action was taken on the complaint of the injured health worker, the police said.
