A mother and her children have been left severely traumatised following an attempted hijacking at the corner of Avalen Crescent and Northcroft in Phoenix on Wednesday evening.
Members of KZN VIP Security and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene after receiving reports of the incident. It is alleged that approximately four to five armed African male suspects attempted to hijack a blue Toyota Corolla. The suspects reportedly tried to force the occupants from the vehicle but were disturbed by family members and community members who intervened.
During the incident, the suspects allegedly discharged several rounds before fleeing the scene in a silver-grey Hyundai i10. Fortunately, no physical injuries were reported.
KZN VIP medics assessed the female victim and her children on scene, where they were found to be severely traumatised by the ordeal. Further emotional support was provided while emergency personnel remained in attendance.
The circumstances surrounding the incident cannot be confirmed at this stage and investigations are ongoing. SAPS, together with KZN VIP and other emergency stakeholders, attended the scene.
