DSJ learners were involved in the incident.
According to DSJ marketing manager Savo Ceprnich, a suspect allegedly stole a cell phone from a learner at another school in the Milpark area.
The suspect allegedly made his way through Frank Brown Park, Sans Souci Road and into the back entrance of a nearby hospital.
He was chased by learners at the school and intercepted by hospital security. He was then allegedly forced to do a U-turn and return to the hospital entrance, where he was allegedly confronted by the group.
Ceprnich said the confrontation was stopped by hospital security as well as members of the DSJ security.
“No learners or staff members of the Deutsche Internationale Schule Johannesburg were involved or injured,” said Ceprnich.
The Gazette has contacted the Parkview Police Station as well as the hospital for comment on this incident and will update the story accordingly.
