A MAN believed to be in his 20s was assaulted in Maryvale Road in Westville on Thursday afternoon.
Paramedics found the man lying on the side of the road, surrounded by residents.
“The man sustained numerous stab wounds to his head as well as soft-tissue injuries to his face,” said ER24 spokesman, Russel Meiring.
In a separate incident, another man also believed to be in his 20s, was seriously injured when the driver of a bakkie knocked him off his motorbike in Marrianridge Road, Ashley.
“The man was found lying next to his delivery motorbike in the middle of the road. Paramedics provided the man with advanced life support interventions,” said Meiring.
The driver of the bakkie was not injured.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
