Primrose police recently arrested a 32-year-old man on a charge of domestic violence.
The arrest was made after the accused’s girlfriend opened a case against him.
“She told police when she opened the case that she had arrived at her boyfriend’s home, with her niece, at 3.30am,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“The suspect allegedly woke up and demanded to know where she had been, but before she could answer, he allegedly jumped over the bed and punched her in the face.”

She fled the scene and called an ambulance, which took her to Bertha Gxowa Hospital for medical attention.
“We are appealing to the community to seek help when their relationships are not going well,” said Maome.
The accused has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where the case was postponed for plea and trial.
