Jacobs said: “A traffic officer responded to a request to assist a colleague who was at the scene of an accident at the corner of Lwandle and Spine Road on Friday, 16 December.

“Upon arrival, the traffic officer attempted to interview the two drivers, but a passenger from one of the vehicles interjected and hit the law enforcement officer. It is believed that the passenger also attacked the driver of the other vehicle.
