The source said elders, who intervened, prevented the embattled policemen from being lynched and handed them over to policemen in the community, who identified them.
Police spokesman Moses Nkombe said the men have been confirmed to be policemen on patrol.
He said they were attacked after a suspect, who was fleeing from a neighbouring state, raised a false alarm that he was being chased by kidnappers.
Nkombe said the policemen sustained minor injuries.
