COMMUNITY members of the Greenfield RDP houses came to the rescue of a woman who was being attacked by a teenage boy on August 12.
According to Capt Lesibana Molokomme, spokesman for Norkem Park SAPS, the community rushed to the scene at 5.30pm when they heard screams for help coming from a woman in the open veld between Birchleigh North and the RDP houses.
