An officer at the service of the Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) fired at a taxi driver, injuring him in his left arm on Tuesday. The incident took place at the intersection of Mexico and Duarte avenues at around 9 am. A witness said that officer Juan Candelario Rodríguez ordered that taxi driver Francisco Javier Delgado stop. Delgado did so but refused to surrender his license. Instead he started his car and took off rapidly, almost knocking down the traffic officer. Rodríguez then fired at him. Rodríguez was arrested and is retained at the Homicide Department of the National Police. Delgado was interned at the Hospital Darío Contreras.
