“Her clothing was ripped but fortunately she managed to escape,” said Knott.

Knott said the women had been taken to Umhlali Saps where a case of attempted assault had been opened.

The two attackers are still at large.

In a separate incident this week a domestic worker was held-up by three men on Tuesday while walking along Ocean Drive in Salt Rock at around 4pm.

The woman managed to flag down an IPSS security patrol team and the security company apprehend two of the three men fleeing on foot towards Mount Richmore.
