Petrol attendant assaulted with hammer
Blood everywhere after a taxi driver attacks a petrol attendant with a hammer.
Members of the Sector 4 Community Policing Forum (CPF) arrived at a bloody scene and found a man assaulted with a hammer over the head.
On arrival at the service station near West Village on the evening of 1 November, CPF members and their First Aid Responders (FAR) found a man with injuries to his head after he was hit with a hammer.
It is believed the petrol attendant was arguing with the driver of a taxi about the petrol cap minutes before the attack started.
The taxi driver left after he filled his vehicle and returned shortly after when he started assaulting the petrol attendant with a hammer.
An EPR security guard on the scene quickly called for back up from the CPF and its FAR who arrived shortly thereafter.
FAR attended to the victim and stabilised him until Netcare 911 arrived to take him to hospital for further treatment.
The victim had a deep cut on his head and another wound behind his ear.
The scene was described as bloody by the CPF’s public relations officer, Rose Menezes.
The whereabouts of the taxi driver is still unclear.
