LUCKNOW: Two days after a bizarre attack outside the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office in Lucknow on Friday (May 23), CCTV footage of the incident has now surfaced, revealing the shocking moment a man shot an arrow directly at a police officer on duty.

The footage shows the attacker, identified as Dinesh Murmu, standing at the entrance of the CBI office before suddenly launching an arrow at the assistant sub-inspector (ASI). The arrow strikes the ASI in the chest, who is seen staggering in pain but manages to grab the arrow and run. The video also shows Murmu chasing the injured officer while firing two more arrows at bystanders, both of which missed their targets. The CCTV footage also highlights how a security guard struck Murmu's hand with a baton, knocking the bow to the ground. The guard then struck Dinesh Murmu several times, subduing him until others helped detain the attacker.
