A traffic policeman who was grievously injured in a hit-and-run incident last month walked out of hospital on Saturday to the applause of colleagues.
A video uploaded on Facebook shows Simon Schembri, accompanied by family members, acknowledging the welcome of well-wishers.
The 48-year-old lost an arm and suffered serious injuries to his limbs and lungs in a May 15 incident sparked by 17-year-old Liam Debono.
Mr Debono has been charged with the attempted murder of PC Schembri, and on Wednesday a magistrate ruled there was enough evidence for the young man to face a trial by jury on the charges.
Officers chasing the Mercedes Mr Debono was driving told the court how the accused had crashed the car and tried to make a getaway on foot, running into a wheat field before surrendering.
