A taxi driver has been hailed as a “hero” by social media users after firing shots at suspected robbers who attacked a motorist in the Johannesburg CBD.
Police spokesperson Capt Mavela Masondo said the victim was travelling in a white Toyota Corolla on Monday afternoon when he came to a halt at a red traffic light.
“Suddenly four or five suspects approached him, broke car windows and pointed firearms before robbing him of an undisclosed amount of cash and a cellphone,” said Masondo.
He said the car rolled forward and bumped a Toyota Quantum.
