Police are searching for a group of armed men who tried to hijack a cash van during the morning rush hour on Cape Town's Eastern Boulevard on Friday.
Spokesperson Captain Randall Stoffels said the SBV van, with four security officers, was forced to a standstill when it was hemmed in by a white Mercedes-Benz and a silver BMW.
The men got out of both vehicles and fired several shots at the security vehicle.During the cross fire a passing motorist sustained a gunshot wound to his left leg.
The armed men then left the Mercedes and BMW on the scene, instead hijacking a passing Toyota Hiace minibus.
Police have launched a search for the suspects and opened cases of Attempted Armed robbery, Attempted Murder and Vehicle hijacking for investigation.
Anyone with information that might assist us in the investigation is requested to contact Crime Stop on share-call at 08600 10111
