A Johannesburg businessman was robbed in broad daylight by four armed men in Mayfair over the weekend.Police spokesperson Jeanette Backhoff told TimesLIVE that the incident happened on the corner of Bird and Albertina Sisulu roads at around 10am on Saturday.
Backhoff said the businessman, his son and two workers were driving from the man's Newton business premises when they were stopped by four armed men on the corner of Princes and 6th Avenue in Mayfair. Although the four assailants pointed firearms at the businessman and the occupants of his car, they managed to escape by driving away, Backhoff said. "They demanded money and R5,000 was given to them. They demanded more money and when they didn't get it, they fired three shots, grabbed the businessman, pushed him into their car and fled."One of the suspects was found with a gunshot wound, and an unlicensed firearm in the front seat of the car.
"It seems that the suspects were fighting among themselves, shots were fired, and in the process one of the men was wounded by a bullet."Police have opened cases of kidnapping, attempted murder and armed robbery.
