KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Thembeka Mbele says the guard was collecting cash from a wholesale on Mahatma Gandhi Road on Monday when a group of armed men attacked him.
"While he was approaching a cash in transit vehicle with cash, he was attacked by a group of armed suspects who fired shots. A security guard was injured as well as the bystander.
"The suspects took a box containing cash and fled the scene in their getaway vehicles. Two vehicles were later found abandoned at Bythedale.
"It was established that both vehicles were stolen in Sydenham during July and September this year.”
The matter has been taken over by the Hawks for further investigation.
