After escaping from an alleged assault by her 29-year-old ex-boyfriend, a Makause Informal Settlement woman went to the Primrose Police Station to open a case.<\/p>\n
The woman told officers while opening the case she had been walking home from a local tavern, last Saturday, when she was approached by the suspect.<\/p>
He allegedly grabbed her and demanded to speak with her.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe told him to leave her alone and he allegedly became angry and began to punch and kick her,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
\u201cShe managed to escape and run away from the accused.\u201d<\/p>\n
Using the description of the man given by the victim, officers were able to trace and arrest him.<\/p>\n
He was taken to the Primrose Police Station where he was charged with domestic violence.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
