Reports suggest that at least 3 police cars were torched by citizens in protest. Some journalists are detained at Harare central police station. Reports state that trouble started when a police officer approached a kombi plies the Chitungwiza-Harare route at the Seke road flyover.

After firing a warning shot the police officer then fired and hit an elderly man who had nothing to do with kombi and he died instantly.
