Senior officer told reporters,as many as 150 police personnel assembled outside the directorate of collegiate education building near freedom park where Upparpet police inspector,Shivaswamy was assigning them bandobast duties .
Suddenly a swarm of bees attacked and the police personnel ran helterskelter to save themselves .
Luckily the incident took place before the protests started at the Freedom Park,else it would have been a disaster as the premises can accommodate thousands of people,the police said .
The passers-by also ran away to safety to save themselves from the attack and were escaped from the attack in nick of time.
There was a big bee hive at the building and posing danger to the passers-by.
We have asked the authorities to remove the hive, till then deployed a sentry to watch over the hive.
