A lunatic chased a woman police constable and attempted to stab her with a broken piece of glass near the collectorate premises in Salem on Sunday, police said.

According to Assistant City Police Commissioner Krishnamurthy, a lunatic identified as 28-year-old Mohammed Sabiyullah, was sleeping under a tree adjacent to the busy road near the collectorate. A woman traffic police constable Sangeetha(20) who was manning the traffic, asked the man to move away.
