While still with the police, the driver received a call from his colleague informing him he was held up by the would-be hijacker, who was demanding his firearm.
He managed to convince the perpetuator to wait for him as he was driving back to the crime scene.
Mngomezulu added that the man waited and was later arrested by the members of the EMPD.
He will appear soon before the Tsakani Magistrate’s Court.
