Video: Mercedes Benz driver attacked
One person was arrested following a vicious attack on a motorist in Erasmia, Tshwane, on Monday. In the video, posted by Yusuf Abramjee, a person in a black vehicle seemingly tries to get away from the occupants of a white vehicle.
The black vehicle mounts a pavement and skirts piles of bricks, and then hits a post.
The occupants of the white vehicle get out and start kicking at the black vehicle and throw rocks and bricks at the car.
Eventually, a man is filmed lying on the ground being kicked.
Other vehicles stop and people get out to see what is happening.
Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo told a local publication a shooting incident was reported to the police on Monday, linked to the video which is circulating.
