Cape Times reports that while driving in Brackenfell, an e-hailing driver had a narrow escape after being stabbed in the chest during what appeared to be a robbery caught on camera.
The video clip shows the e-hailing driver with two men, one in the passenger seat and another in the back seat, driving at around 7.40am in Bottelary Road. The e-hailing driver can be seen driving to an undisclosed location with the map route on his phone and conversing with the men. The man seated in the passenger seat is seen checking his phone and he then proceeds to lean forward with his head in his hand and suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs the driver twice in the chest. The passenger grabs the driver's cellphone. The driver manages to get out of the vehicle, before he is pursued by the two men.
The video was posted by community organisation Kraailove, which posted an update in the comments section saying the driver was recovering well.
