Durban Metro officer injured in gun attack
The Durban Metro police officer who was shot multiple times over the weekend is recovering in hospital.
Metro police's Parboo Sewpersad says the policewoman is in a stable condition at the moment.
The 38-year-old woman, who was off-duty at the time, was based at the unit's KwaMashu station.
Sewpersad says the officer had stopped at a traffic light in Iron Street in Verulam, north of Durban when two armed suspects allegedly attacked her vehicle on Saturday night.
They then fled the scene in a bakkie.
Sewpersad says the motive behind the attack is still unknown at this stage. He says police are investigating a case of attempted murder.
