After allegedly being hit on the head with a brick recently in Primrose, a man opened a case against a 29-year-old man.
The complainant, who runs his own business, alleged that he was at his stall when he noticed a man, together with his friend, who owed him money.
“He approached the man and asked him when he was going to pay back his money,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose SAPS.
“The man’s friend apparently started swearing at the complainant and the accused allegedly picked up a brick and struck the complainant on the head causing him serious injury.”

The man received medical attention and upon his recovery opened a case of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
“The police quickly traced the suspect and he was arrested,” said Maome.
He has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court and the case was postponed for plea and trial.
