The mob pulled knives, sticks and clubs attempting to lynch the suspect but the timely intervention of a standby riot control Police team stationed at Akropong Palace and subsequent support from reinforcement team already dispatched to the street helped to rescue the suspect and his friends who took refuge at the Palace until Police escort took them out of the palace to the Police station.
