Cape Town - An Ocean View man had a narrow escape when two pepper-spray toting good Samaritans threatened to “shoot” a knife-wielding teenager who had just stabbed him.
Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk said they were investigating a case of attempted murder.
The pair of heroes, who declined to be named, were heading to a gangster recovery meeting on Tuesday night when they saw the man being chased near Flamingo Road. They followed in their car and shouted at the teen chasing him.
“The man stopped and turned to face his pursuer and tried to push him away, but the teenager, who could have been about 14 years old, stabbed him once in the chest area," one of the Samaritans said.
