When one of the cops got out of the car to question and stop the malicious activity, some notorious motorists started chasing him, while other onlookers merrily filmed the episode and posted it online. Maj. Raed Al-Malki, spokesman of Taif Traffic Department, said the video clip will be shown to specialists in the traffic department to determine the time and identify the transgressors who tried to mock the patrolling cars. Al-Malki said heavy penalties would be imposed on the violators.
