Police have launched a manhunt for at least twelve suspects
who attempted to enter one of the South African Police Service’s office
buildings in Pretoria on Sunday night.
National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said the twelve suspects travelled in a white bakkie.
"The motive for the attempt to enter the building is under investigation. Police officers who were on patrol foiled the attempt to enter the building.
"During the confrontation one member, a constable, was shot and wounded during the attack. He has been taken to hospital for medical care."
