No form of identification was found on the victim, except a white Samsung cellphone. A description of his clothes is also unavailable.
“We did take the man’s fingerprints, but unfortunately could not find his identity anywhere. Which is why we suspect he may be a foreigner,” Mtshali said.
Paramedics said he had sustained multiple facial injuries and his body was disfigured after the accident.
The victim is dark in complexion and is estimated to be in his 30s.
