The case involving a man who allegedly struck another motorist at least three times with an axe last year, was postponed to 27 February.
The accused appeared at the Randburg Magistrates’ Court, Kensington B, on 20 February.
He is facing charges of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm for his actions during a road rage incident on 8 November.
The man refused to speak to the media. The State requested the week’s postponement for further investigation, and Magistrate Hanlie Banks granted it.
The accused is out on bail.
The incident began on Malibongwe Drive in Randburg, and ended on the N1 Highway just before the Beyers Naudé Drive onramp.
The other motorist, who is a Cosmo City resident, was allegedly struck with the axe twice on the head and once on his arm.
Two Netcare 911 paramedics who attended the scene were suspended by their company for allegedly assisting the white motorist and not the injured black motorist.
