Johannesburg - Protesting metro police officers fired live ammunition at SA Police
Service members in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
SAPS Gauteng police spokesoerson Superintendent Eugene Opperman said
the police had been forced to fire rubber bullets at metro police
members who had blockaded the city, causing traffic gridlock.
Seven metro police officers - three women and four men - were
injured during the police action, Opperman said.
News24 User Jonathan Searra filmed some of the protests using his cellphone camera.
"As you can see the police were trying to take my phone away, that is why some of the footage is very bad," he told News24.
