The Primrose police recently arrested a 30-year-old man for an armed robbery which allegedly took place in the Delport informal settlement.<\/p>\n
Officers were alerted to the crime when the victim of the alleged attack opened a case at the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>
\u201cHe explained to police that he had been walking in the informal settlement when he was attacked by two men, one of whom he recognised.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe men allegedly pushed him to the floor and began to kick him, during which the accused stabbed him with a sharp object,\u201d said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>
The man passed out and later woke up in hospital where he discovered in addition to the stab wound he had several broken bones and his wallet was missing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim claims that the accused came to visit him in hospital and apologised for what he had done.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe promised to help care for the victim when he was released from hospital,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
When the man was released from hospital he contacted his attacker to make good the promise made, but his attacker allegedly told him to go to hell.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe accused denied any responsibility for the man\u2019s injuries,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n
It was then the victim reported the matter to the police.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appeal to our community to refrain from making personal agreements when a crime is committed; instead follow the proper channels,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The suspect was detained at the Primrose Police Station pending his appearance in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n
