Police are on the scene of an assault and an apparent kidnapping attempt in a suburb on Port Alfred’s West Bank. South African Police Spokesperson Captain Marius McCarthy said a business owner was assaulted this evening, Wednesday December 18, by a group of armed suspects who tried to forcefully push him into his car.
“It is further alleged that the suspects fled the scene with the vehicle of the victim and that the vehicle was later found abandoned not far away,” McCarthy said.
Talk of the Town will report further when more details are available.
