An alleged thief was arrested today after a chase and a fight by two constables posted in northwest Delhi's Swaroop Nagar police station.

Constables Pawan and Ratan Lal were out patrolling this morning when they spotted two motorcycle-borne men fleeing after snatching a truck driver's mobile phone, the police said.

The constables followed the accused and intercepted them.

While one of the men managed to escape, the other, identified as Sajid, got into a fight with the policemen and pushed Lal into a drain, the police said.

Lal, however, did not let go of Sajid and pulled him inside, they added.

Sajid also attacked the constable with a knife but was nabbed, they said.

The police said Sajid has been involved in several cases of fighting earlier as well.

A manhunt is underway to nab the second accused, the police said.
