A recent mob action left several citizens and police officers injured. An angry mob in the neighborhood of San Pedro Atocpan in Mexico City clashed with police and left at least 62 officers injured. The injuries resulted when several police officers tried to rescue three of their colleagues from the mob that had surrounded them. The officers were responding to a report that several suspects were forcibly taking a person inside a home and that shouting could be heard from inside. While in the process of detaining two people the mob surrounded the officers and attempted to lynch them. Reinforcements arrived but were unable to break up the crowd. An official investigation has begun to discover why the officers were targeted. Government officials have stated that they want to establish a peaceful relationship between police officers and citizens.
