Primrose police recently arrested a 20-year-old man on a charge of pointing a firearm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe complainant told officers that he had been at the Marlands Shopping Centre when he was approached by a man he knew and his friends,\u201d explained communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>
The two reportedly began to fight and the suspect ran to his father\u2019s vehicle and retrieved a firearm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe accused allegedly pointed the firearm at the victim, who surrendered.<\/p>
\u201cThe accused then called his friends and together they fled the scene,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
Using the description given by the victim, police were able to find and arrest the suspect.<\/p>\n
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where his case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
