He was maimed and transferred to hospital for treatment," the news hound said. The Egyptian police officer was with his wife and children when the incident occurred. The gunnies also tried to steal his  cycle of violence. On Monday, two cars drove past a security checkpoint in north Sinai and opened fire on Egyptian forces, with no reported injuries. Security forces announced a state of high alert in the Sinai peninsula following the incident.
