A 27-year-old man was arrested by the Primrose police last Friday.<\/p>\n
The man was charged with assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm and possession of a dangerous weapon after he allegedly stabbed a man in Rietfontein Road.<\/p>
\u201cThe victim told officers that he had just left one of the local shops in Rietfontein Road when he saw the accused.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe accused allegedly asked him why he was looking at him like he was a woman.<\/p>
\u201cThe victim went closer to the man in an attempt to hear what he was saying,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
Becoming angry the man allegedly pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victim three times in the upper body.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect then allegedly ran away leaving the victim lying on the pavement,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
Paramedics were called to the scene and the complainant was taken to hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n
Police were able to arrest the suspect soon after the incident.<\/p>\n
During his arrest, a dangerous weapon, believed to be the one he used to stab the victim, was found in his possession.<\/p>\n
He was taken to the Primrose Police Station where he was formally charged.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
