One of its two occupants fled through a field, but the other attacked a police guard by hitting him on the head with a hand grenade. The impact of the blow dislodged the grenade pin; the young guerrilla, afraid that he was going to blow himself up, threw the grenade away. It exploded harmlessly, and the Arab, now unarmed, surrendered...
