The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) stopped a man who attempted from breaching a security gate at Madina.
ATMIS security personnel arrested the man who attempted the breach on Sunday.
According to security officers, the gate he attempted to breach leads to a basecamp at the facility.
The basecamp houses important offices such as ATMIS’ and the one for the United Nations agencies.
He sought to gain access to the basecamp without undergoing the mandatory security checks at the gate.
The man attacked an officer who instructed him to adhere to the security protocols.
Instead, he brandished a knife that he used to stab the officer thrice. He stabbed the officer on the neck, shoulder, and stomach.
However, he was neutralized and apprehended by a second officer.
Investigations into the incident are already underway.
