"I think two or three of them are seriously injured. By the time I reached there, they were all taken away from King Edward. Now I spoke to somebody who was taken to King George as well. 

 

"The community managed to get hold of him [suspect], some members of the CPF and others managed to restrain him, and they called the police, and the police took him away." 

 

Cato Manor SAPS is investigating.
