Three policemen were injured in a drive-by shooting near the Egyptian capital on Tuesday.
Unidentified gunmen on a motorbike opened fire on a police checkpoint in Nahya village, west of Cairo, Egyptian authorities said.
A statement released by the Giza security directorate gave no account of casualties in the shooting.
Eyewitnesses, however, said that three policemen were injured in the attack.
No group has claimed responsibility for the shooting attack.
Egypt has been roiled by violence and turmoil since the military deposed Mohamed Morsi, the country’s first freely elected president, in a 2013 military coup.
