The Ghana Police Service has arrested a 60-year-old man for allegedly assaulting his 16-year-old biological son at North Legon in the Greater Accra Region.
Police identified the suspect as Eric Mante, who reportedly committed the offence on May 3, 2026.
According to a police statement, the teenager had gone out to play football with friends on the day of the incident when his father reportedly confronted him.
Investigators disclosed that the suspect allegedly tied the teenager to a quad motorbike and sped off with him.
The victim, according to investigations, reportedly fell onto a tarred road near Adonai Church and was dragged along the road, sustaining multiple injuries.
The victim’s screams reportedly attracted the attention of some residents, who intervened and stopped the suspect from further dragging him.
The injured teenager was rushed to Legon Hospital for medical treatment, while the suspect was arrested by the police.
During investigations, police said the suspect admitted to the act and claimed he acted out of anger over the victim’s behaviour.
Mr. Mante has since been charged and put before the court.
