Primrose police recently arrested a 32-year-old man on a charge of domestic violence.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made after the accused\u2019s girlfriend opened a case against him.<\/p>
\u201cShe told police when she opened the case that she had arrived at her boyfriend\u2019s home, with her niece, at 3.30am,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect allegedly woke up and demanded to know where she had been, but before she could answer, he allegedly jumped over the bed and punched her in the face.\u201d<\/p>
She fled the scene and called an ambulance, which took her to Bertha Gxowa Hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are appealing to the community to seek help when their relationships are not going well,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The accused has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where the case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
