Attempted Hijacking

A 21 year old man sustained serious injuries when he was the victim of an attempted hijacking this morning.

Just before 02h00 this morning paramedics from ER24 Emergency Services were called to a complex in Without Street, Weltevredenpark.

Paramedics that arrived on the scene found the 21 year old lying in the house at the time. He sustained serious injuries to his face, head and possible fractures to his hands and wrists.

It is understood that he was visiting a friend in the complex and was about to leave when an unknown amount of men tried to hijack his Toyota Corolla outside the complex. The 21 year old put up a vicious fight. It is understood that the suspected hijackers fled the scene after a vicious fight broke out.

He was severely assaulted and his friend, who noticed something is wrong, found him lying next to his vehicle outside the complex. His friend dragged him into the house for further safety.

Paramedics from ER24 EMS stabilized him on the scene and transported him to the Life Flora Clinic for further medical management.
