A 37-year-old man was recently arrested by the Primrose police, in Primrose East, following a report of domestic violence.<\/p>\n
The arrest was made when the victim called the police after she was attacked by her husband.<\/p>
She explained to officers that she went to fetch her children from school and, when she returned home, her son informed her that his father was drinking alcohol.<\/p>\n
She decided to go to her room.<\/p>
Her husband followed her and an argument started.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe asked him to leave her alone, but he didn’t,” explained communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome .<\/p>\n
\u201cShe claims it was then that the accused slapped her with an open hand and she fell to the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen she tried to get up, he punched her with his fist.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe children screamed and the accused left her.\u201d<\/p>\n
The victim then called the police and the suspect was arrested as soon as the officers arrived on scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are appealing to our community to seek help when their relationship is not going well; they must not take law into their own hands,\u201d added Maome.<\/p>\n
The man later appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where the case was postponed for trial.<\/p>\n
