Cape Town | Tuesday
A 21-year-old man allegedly implicated in the baseball attack on two men in an apparent road rage incident in Cape Town handed himself over to the police on Tuesday.
Police representative Superintendent Wicus Holtzhausen said the man was accompanied by his attorney when he surrendered himself at the Table View police station shortly before 10am.
He said the man would remain in custody until he appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court, probably on Wednesday, to face charges of attempted murder.
Marc Combrink (22) and Marc Walden (25) suffered fractured skulls after they were attacked in the early hours of Saturday morning in Table View.
The driver of a Citi Golf had flashed his lights at Combrink and Walden’s car. He then drove in front of them and slammed on his brakes, before getting out of his car and attacking the pair with an aluminium baseball bat.
On Monday the man claimed responsibility for the attack while speaking on a local radio station.
He told Cape Talk that he would hand himself over to the police on Tuesday.
The man declined to elaborate during his call to the radio station ”because we are going to court, but all I can say is that they are not as innocent as they sound.” – Sapa
