A member from the Community Policing Forum (CPF) saw a commotion in the open field between Del Judor x4 and Highveld Mall.
The incident happened on Monday, December 21 when the CPF chairperson was called on the radio and he investigated.
When the suspect saw that the members of the CPF were on their way, he started running.
He was eventually caught in Nita Street, when the victim was asked what happened he explained the terrifying ordeal.
It turned out to be a hostage situation that lasted for approximately two hours.
The man was walking to work (Highveld Mall) through the field, when the unknown man attacked him.
As the suspect grabbed the man, he pulled his jersey over his head and he was beaten with a stone on his head several times.
This hostage situation took two hours for only a cell phone, shoes and approximately R80.
Thank you to the CPF members from Del Judor x4 who managed to arrest the suspect and saved the other man’s life.
A case of abduction and common robbery were opened at Witbank Police Station. http://witbanknews.co.za/57546/man-held-hostage-for-two-hours/
