Russian traffic policeman clings to drunk driver's roof

KHABAROVSK, June 20 (RIA Novosti) - A drunk driver hit a traffic policeman and carried him about a kilometer (0.62 miles) on the roof of his car in Russia's Far Eastern Khabarovsk Territory, a police source said on Friday.

The driver stopped only after the inspector fired eight shots from his government-issued gun.

Miraculously, the traffic policeman was virtually unharmed; suffering only grazes on his hand. The driver was detained for questioning.
