Woman injured in attempted hijacking
A 49-year-old woman sustained multiple gunshot wounds during an attempted hijacking in Roodepoort on Thursday, paramedics said.
ER24 spokesman Werner Vermaak said the woman was shot at, when she stopped at a robot on the corner of Hendrick Portgieter and Peter Road around 10:20pm.
"She said they [hijackers] tried to hijack her Mercedes. They fired shots into the right hand side window, she sustained multiple gunshot wounds in the chest."
Vermaak said the woman sped off. She was found by the paramedics in the car, two kilometres away from Krugersdorp.
"She was stabilised and taken to a nearby hospital."
The woman was with two children in the vehicle at the time of the attack but they were unharmed, Vermaak said.
