"A bullet whizzed past my ear. When I turned around, I saw that I had been shot in the shoulder," he said.
The policeman said it felt like there were more than three attackers. "They kept firing every five minutes. It was as if the ground was shaking," he said.
The terrorists are believed to crossed over the border at Hiranagar in Jammu before heading to Gurdaspur.
Five live bombs were also found on railway tracks between Dinanagar and Pathankot.
Dinanagar borders Pathankot, which has many key army establishments.
