The Ghana Police Service has debunked claims that police personnel shot an alleged ballot box snatcher in the Awutu Senya West Constituency.
In a Twitter post, the Service said the young man in question was not shot as earlier reported, but instead was saved from a mob attack by some youth in the area.
According to the Police, the young man, who was severely injured, has been taken to the Swedru Government Hospital for treatment.
