While waiting for a tow truck, after his vehicle broke down on the N3 recently, a man was robbed by three men.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim told officers the men smashed his window and robbed him of his cellphone and bank cards,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
A passing motorist reportedly saw the attack and chased the suspects.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was able to corner one of the suspects and the 32-year-old man was arrested,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>
\u201cThe suspect was assaulted before being handed over to the police and, therefore, we once again, appeal to the community not to take the law into their own hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police took the man to hospital for treatment after the attack.<\/p>\n
The suspect appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court on a charge of common robbery. His case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
