Car guard helps foil G’acres hijack attempt

A PORT Elizabeth woman managed to escape after two men with a toy gun tried to abduct her during a daylight hijacking at Greenacres shopping centre yesterday.

The two hijackers eventually fled in the woman’s VW Polo, but only after a vigilant car guard heroically ran across and smacked the toy gun out of the one hijacker’s hand.

The attack comes after a pregnant woman was abducted at gunpoint from the Greenacres secure undercover car park in broad daylight in late February.
