“Reports from the scene indicate that a pedestrian was walking on the staircase between Kenville Road and Sea Cow Lake Road when he was approached by two men.

“Members of the public who heard the gunshot came to the victim’s aid and helped him down the staircase to Inanda Road and flagged down one of our armed patrols. First-aid intervention was administered by members of our Special Operations Team before handing over the patient to IPSS Medical who stabilised the victim before transporting him to a nearby hospital,” he said.
The incident follows another armed robbery where a pedestrian was shot on Peter Road in the Sea Cow Lake area.
Powell added that Greenwood Park police were in attendance and will be investigating further.
