Kuwaiti national who attempted to run down officer

A Kuwaiti driver who drove his car straight at a traffic police officer in Prague will most likely escape punishment due to the fact that he has diplomatic immunity, the CTK news agency reports. The Kuwaiti national reportedly refused to cooperate during a routine check up and tried to run down a traffic police officer on Prague’s Wenceslas Square on Saturday night. The police gave chase and caught up with the transgressor a few minutes later. The man is believed to be an employee of the Kuwaiti embassy. The CTK news agency notes that if he has diplomatic immunity the case will be shelved, similarly as that of an intoxicated Austrian diplomat who drove his car through a Prague park recently.
