A woman was forced to flee for her life after she was allegedly attacked by her child\u2019s 26-year-old father.<\/p>\n

The incident took place in the Makause informal settlement.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

When opening a case at the Primrose Police Station the victim told officers that she had been in her shack asleep when she heard a knock on the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she opened the door she found her child\u2019s father and a woman, unknown to her.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cShe asked why they were there to which the accused allegedly replied that she shouldn\u2019t ask him stupid questions,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n

Without another word the man allegedly began to assault the woman, punching and even strangling her.<\/p>\n

During the attack she managed to escape and ran to find help.<\/p>\n

Using the description given by the victim the suspect was traced and arrested.<\/p>\n

He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
