The South African Police Service (SAPS) is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying a motorist captured in a disturbing viral video allegedly running over a man multiple times in Rivonia, Johannesburg.
The incident, which took place in a parking lot earlier this month, shows a man in a four-by-four bakkie repeatedly driving over another individual before fleeing the scene.
According to Gauteng Police spokesperson Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, officers responded to the scene and found a man lying on the side of the road with multiple injuries. Paramedics declared him dead on arrival.
“A case of murder has been opened, and investigations are ongoing. No arrests have been made at this stage,” said Nevhuhulwi. “All possible leads are being followed to trace the suspect.”
Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the SAPS Crime Stop line at 08600 10111.
