“He is off life support and is able to breathe on his own, but he’s still asleep,” explained his father, Rynfield resident Justin Slabbert.
The 35-year-old father of two was travelling with his son and daughter, Eden (11), on the N12 when the incident took place.
A brick was thrown into the car’s passenger window, striking Caden on the head, leaving him with a fractured skull and heavy head trauma.
The little boy had a blood transfusion on May 3 and was placed in an induced coma in the Netcare Clinton Hospital.
A couple was attacked a few minutes after the Slabberts, when the same man threw a brick through the passenger window of the car driven by Boksburg man, Darrell Badenhorst.
The brick struck his girlfriend, Marionette Schwab, who also sustained head trauma, but is in a stable condition in the Netcare Union Hospital.
Slabbert has since opened a case of attempted murder, which is being investigated by the Mondeor SAPS.
