Man (51) beaten and dumped at school after hijacking
A 51-year-old Minnebron resident was hijacked on Monday evening, while waiting for a traffic light to change in Dalview.
The incident occurred around 6.30pm on the corner of Van Der Walt Road and Gloucester Avenue, as the man was on his way home from work.
“I was busy smoking and waiting for the traffic light to change, when suddenly I felt a gun against my throat and a voice that said ‘Open your doors’,” said the victim, who wishes to remain anonymous.
“As I unlocked my car doors the hijacker’s accomplice jumped into the passenger side and hit me on the face with something that I believe was a gun. I passed out from the heavy blow and woke up in front of Laerskool Dalview at around 7pm.”
“I yelled out for help and a man living opposite the school immediately came out and helped me,” the victim said.
“My face feels very sensitive and sore but luckily the doctors told me that I didn’t break any bones.”
A case of hijacking was opened at the Brakpan Police Station.
