Capt Johannes Ramphora, Springs police spokesman, says the driver of the Jeep claims the four occupants of the Citi Golf pointed out, while driving past, that she had a flat tyre.
As soon as the driver of the Jeep stopped, she checked all the tyres, but was surprised when she was approached by the occupants of the Citi Golf.
Ramphora says the suspects pushed the woman and she fell to the ground.
Two of the suspects got into the Jeep and drove away.
