On Friday, February 21 at about 18:45, the man got shot in the neck while he was driving at the corner of Lazarus and Smuts Street in the Central Business District (CBD).
He froze after hearing a breaking glass sound; then someone tried to open his door.
Luckily he was able to activate the central lock.
He noticed he was bleeding.
He was able to drive to the hospital where he was told that he had been shot.
The suspect is unknown.
The other incident took place in Old Coronation on Friday, February 21 at about 22:00.
The woman alleged that she was walking home with her boyfriend when an unknown man walked straight to her.
