An off-duty police officer from the Unitary Police Service (SPU) was caught drunk driving and crashing into concrete step barriers, Public Security Police (PSP) spokeswoman Lai In Hong said during a press conference yesterday.
The male suspect surnamed Wong is in his thirties.
During a vehicle inspection operation on Saturday at 4 a.m., the police discovered a car on Avenida da Amizade (友誼大馬路) that had collided with railings and crashed into concrete step barriers. The driver, Wong, was reeking of alcohol, and a breathalyser test showed his blood alcohol content of 1.91 grams per litre of blood.
Wong has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing a drunk-driving charge, according to Lai.
