Mother and child injured in attempted hijacking
A woman and her four-month-old child were injured on Wednesday morning in an attempted hijacking in the south of Johannesburg, said paramedics.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said the incident occurred on Bouquet Road in Rosettenville.
Meiring said paramedics found both the mother and child standing next to their vehicle, which had crashed into a wall.
“On assessment, paramedics found that both the mother and child had sustained only minor injuries in this incident.”
Paramedics treated both patients and transported them to Southrand Hospital for further treatment.
The mother later told paramedics that she had apparently been hit in the face as she was pulling her child from the vehicle.
Local authorities were on scene for further investigations. - ANA
