Taxi driver hailed a hero for stopping robbers in Joburg, Mzansi reacts to video
In related news, Briefly News previously reported that a local taxi driver is being celebrated as a hero after miraculously stopping a robbery in progress. The driver bravely stepped out of his Quantum minivan after being hit in the rear by an Uber vehicle attempting to flee from hijackers.
Video footage of the dramatic incident is making the rounds on social media and South Africans have commended the taxi driver on his courage.
According to TimesLIVE , the incident took place in Johannesburg CBD at around 2pm. The victim was travelling in a white Toyota Corolla when he came to a stop at a red traffic light.
Police spokesperson Capt Mavela Masondo described the incident:
“Suddenly four or five suspects approached him, broke car windows and pointed firearms before robbing him of an undisclosed amount of cash and a cellphone,” said Masondo.
The victim's car then rolled forward, bumping into the taxi.
“The driver of the Quantum got out to check only to be threatened with firearms by the suspects. He drew his licensed firearm and fired shots in the direction of the suspects. The suspects fled the scene,” Masondo added.
According to IOL, the dramatic attempted hijacking took place at the corners of Troye and Albertina Sisulu streets in the Joburg CBD. While trying to apprehend the suspects, the taxi driver was unfortunately shot in the leg and later treated at the scene.
Cases of armed robbery and attempted murder were opened.
