The 35-year-old immediately opened a case of common assault and malicious damage to property at the Honeydew Police Station.

“White male came out of his vehicle and hit me with his fists on my head. He also break (sic) my right window and right side mirror on my vehicle. He hit my vehicle with his foot on the side. The total value of the damage is R50 000,” reads the police statement.
