Panicked Pistorius trapped in media entourage

The confused athlete panicked when he was caught between media as he tried to leave the court.

Oscar Pistorius was trapped in between a horde of media as he left the North Gauteng High Court on Tuesday.

The confused athlete thought his transport had arrived, even closely entering the Steenkamp’s vehicle in effort to get away from the prying cameras.

The attempt, however, failed as the murder convict found himself stuck between photographers and supporters, with cameras watching him from every angle.

Pistorius was seen speaking on the phone followed by him mumbling to himself after hanging up.

Surrounded by police, he stood still for close to a minute.

Guided by police, the athlete eventually made his way to the right vehicle before speeding off.
