Duduza police spokesperson Sgt Harry Manaka explained the driver refused to stop the car, so one of the suspects pulled up the hand brake, forcing it to stop.
“The driver screamed for help, but he was sprayed with pepper spray and shot in his upper back.
“The hijackers drove the vehicle to Ext 22, Tsakani, where they dropped the driver and drove away with the vehicle. The driver was taken to Pholosong Hospital for treatment,” he added.
