Bitter husband who 'delivered' his car to the bank now in the dock

Losing your car in a divorce may not be the worst thing that can happen — a policeman at your door and an appearance before a magistrate is on another stress level. Someone who may be able to give us first-hand experience of this scenario one day is the Johannesburg man who took the dramatic step of driving his vehicle through the glass doors and into the lobby of the Rosebank‚ Johannesburg‚ branch of Standard Bank on Wednesday night. Police spokesman Captain Richard Munyai said the man was arrested on Thursday. “The suspect was arrested and charged with malicious damage to property and common assault. “He allegedly assaulted security guards when they tried to help him out of the car.” Munyai said the man would soon appear before the Hillbrow Magistrate’s Court. The 48-year-old man is believed to be in the middle of a divorce and allegedly become angry after he learnt that his house and vehicle could be repossessed by the bank. His wife is understood to be a bank employee.
