MUMBAI, May 13 (UPI) -- The sole living Mumbai terror attack suspect was overpowered by Indian police carrying bamboo sticks, witnesses testified.

Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said two police officers testified before a special court in Mumbai a handful of unarmed officers subdued and arrested the suspect, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, after he had shot and killed a police inspector during last year's four-day terrorist siege of the city, CNN reported.

Kasab is charged with 86 counts, including waging war against India, murder and attempted murder, CNN said. Police say Kasab is one of 10 Pakistanis who carried out the slayings of 160 people during last November's terrorist assaults. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Prosecutors say Kasab was caught on video surveillance cameras in the act of stalking and killing people in Mumbai's main train station, and has also been charged with shooting people at a hospital, CNN said.
