A man handed himself over to Sinoville police in Pretoria recently regarding the attack on a couple at a drive-through KFC in Montana, Pretoria Rekord North reports.
A man and woman were allegedly attacked by a group of men at the fast-food outlet last Wednesday.
Four men were initially arrested and appeared in the Pretoria North Magistrates’ Court on assault charges on Friday.
Provincial spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubele named them as M Harding, 22, O Miller, 20, RJ Nel, 39, and DJ van Rooyen, 26.
“They are all from Pretoria,” Makhubele confirmed.
One of the accused was released on bail.
The other three, and the culprit who recently turned himself in, were expected to appear in court again this week.

In the video, the men swears at the couple while the woman repeatedly asks her attackers: “Are you going to hit me?”
