Phoenix woman allegedly dragged by vehicle in GBV attack - IOL

A Phoenix woman was seriously injured after her husband allegedly dragged her as he drove off in her vehicle during a domestic dispute in Foresthaven, earlier today.

Prem Balram, head of Reaction Unit South Africa, said they received calls for assistance at around 7:45am.

He said the wife informed them that an argument broke out between her and her husband at their home.

“During the confrontation, he allegedly forcibly removed the keys to her silver Toyota Yaris from her hand before driving off without her consent.

“She alleged that she was dragged by the vehicle during the incident and sustained injuries.

“She alleged her husband was  a drug user and was concerned that new motor vehicle parts stored inside her car may have been stole. She reported it as stolen.”

Balram said they were searching for the woman’s vehicle, which had tinted windows and a dent on the left rear passenger door. 

He said the vehicle was not fitted with a tracking device.
