DANIEL Stewart (77), from Glenanda, was reportedly assaulted by two men on the Golden Highway, in the direction of Eldorado Park, on Wednesday, September 21.
According to his wife, Dawn, he was travelling on the highway during the day when he saw people who were directing traffic and thought there might be an accident ahead. However, it was just a ploy used by the criminals.
“When he stopped to try to find out what had happened, he noticed a white bakkie with two men behind him. Then these men grabbed him, assaulted him, took his watch, all his belongings and the battery of the car,” she explained.
Luckily for Stewart, a police car from Eldorado Park travelling in the opposite direction noticed the incident. “The police officers made a U-turn to come and help him and the criminals then ran away,” Dawn added.
”I mean, who does this to another person? This is absurd. Though my husband is at home, he has bruises and is in shock. I want to plead with people to be vigilant.”
The COURIER is still awaiting a police statement from the station commander.
