This statement elicited various reactions from netizens with the majority of users pointing fingers at the police for letting loose a suspect who has several assault charges pending in court.
Another lot welcomed this action indicating that it would be a reprieve for the young man who was allegedly assaulted by the rogue criminal.
"Please reign in on police offices who are not responsible. What do you mean by there are 3 cases and he is Scot free? He should be behind bars. Will he only be jailed when he commits murder? OCS central should be transferred to our post immediately," one user noted.
