The Primrose police were recently called to the Delport informal settlement to calm a violent situation.<\/p>\n

A 39-year-old man was allegedly the cause of the incident and he was arrested and charged with assault and pointing a firearm.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The complainant alleged that she was walking with a friend when they met the accused, who is her ex-boyfriend.<\/p>\n

He demanded to speak to her but she refused.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cHe started to assault her and threatened her with a firearm,\u201d said the communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer friend\u2019s boyfriend tried to stop the fight but claims he was also assaulted by the accused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several more residents attempted to stop the assault but the suspect turned on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers were called to the scene where they arrested the man,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was discovered that the firearm was not real, but rather a pellet gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
