KZN woman pushed to clinic in shopping trolley after brutal knife attack
A critically injured woman whose abdomen was slashed open during a violent knife attack was pushed to a local clinic in a shopping trolley by her boyfriend in Tongaat, KZN, on Saturday night.
The Witness reports that, according to Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa), a frantic man flagged down a Rusa biker on patrol in the Tongaat CBD just before 20:00 on Gopalall Hurbans Road.
He told the officer that his girlfriend had been attacked by a lone suspect, who had disembowelled her.
Rusa spokesperson Prem Balram says the woman, in extreme distress, believed she was going to die due to the severity of her injuries.
While accompanying the man to the scene, the officer, Jordon Tarr, spotted the suspect nearby. The suspect allegedly drew a knife before being tackled to the ground and arrested.
Information gathered at the scene revealed that the suspect is a parolee who was previously convicted of murder.
'It's believed he approached the woman and asked for sex. When she refused, he attacked her with a knife and slashed open her stomach,' says Balram.
After handing the suspect over to the SAPS, Tarr began searching for the injured woman, who was no longer at the crime scene.
She was eventually found outside a nearby clinic in critical condition, having been transported there in a shopping trolley.
