CHENNAI: Two persons, including a law college faculty, were arrested for allegedly assaulting policemen in two separate incidents at Nungambakkam and Maduravoyal.

The Nungambakkam police arrested 26-year-old V Magin Koskgo, an assistant professor at a law college, for allegedly assaulting and abusing a sub-inspector who intervened in a road rage incident early on Monday morning.

Magin allegedly rode his bike rashly and overtook SI Manimaran's two-wheeler. When Manimaran questioned him, Magin picked up a quarrel with him. He attacked the policeman, stomped on his chest, and fled the scene.

Manimaran got admitted to the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for treatment and filed a complaint, after which the Nungambakkam police registered a case and arrested the professor.

In another incident, the police arrested M Mohan (38) of Maduravoyal for attacking a sub-inspector, Chinnadurai, attached to the Maduravoyal police station, when he stopped the bike rider at a vehicle checkpoint in Maduravoyal.

Both of them were produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.
