PORT ELIZABETH - DELIVERY DRIVER ROBBED, HIJACKED AND SHOT AT

Port Elizabeth police are investigating cases of hijacking and attempted murder, after a 35-year old man was hijacked in his bread delivery vehicle in Motherwell early on Saturday morning.

Spokesperson Captain André Beetge says the incident happened at around 5 am, just after he delivered bread in NU 11.

"He was driving his truck when a white Mazda hatchback with four suspects forced him to stop. They told him to drive to Mtimba Street in NU 11 near Addo Road, where he stopped the vehicle, jumped out and ran away", he said.

Beetge says one of the suspects fired a shot at him, wounding him in the head.

The wounded man hid between shacks until it was safe and then went to the Addo Road municipal depot for assistance, he said.

He was later admitted to hospital.

Captain Beetge says the suspects robbed him of his cellphone and cash before fleeing on foot.

No arrests have yet been made.
