The policeman and LASTMA officer halted the troops' car on a one-way street, according to information received, and told them to turn around and move to the right lane.
It was discovered that tension had developed since neither party could reach a compromise following confrontations.
According to reports, the troops jumped on the two officials and started beating them after refusing to turn around.
Our correspondent discovered that a different group of soldiers, who were travelling in the right lane of the road, pulled over when they saw the situation and joined their fellow soldiers in assaulting the authorities.
