Then, the attackers "and others who joined in, attacked the squad with blunt objects, causing material damage to glass, lamps, a police vehicle and another of a citizen," said the official to Radio Nacional de Angola (RNA) .
A police intervention followed, following which three members of the group were detained, while another was killed when he tried to cross the road, by a vehicle that was passing by at the time.
Nestor Goubel said that security measures were taken "at the station's perimeter, and beyond, and efforts are being made to better clarify the facts".
