Kosovo-Metohija Serb detained, beaten by Pristina's police

LEPOSAVIC - A Kosovo-Metohija Serb man had to seek medical attention on Wednesday night after being detained and beaten by the so-called Kosovo Police.

Pristina's regional deputy police chief for northern Kosovo-Metohija said the man, identified by the initials I M, had been detained for allegedly "obstructing an on-duty officer" and released after questioning.

In a statement to Tanjug, the man, a resident of the Kajkovo village near Leposavic, northern Kosovo-Metohija, said a patrol of the so-called Kosovo Police had pulled him over on a trunk road to Leposavic and beaten him, after which he had to seek medical attention at the Leposavic health centre.

He said his son had been with him at the time of his detention.
