Pinetown – The incident happened outside Giba on January 5, 2015 on the Pinetown Westmead side on the dirt road.
A man stopped half way down the road to pick up rocks to take home for his pond when a young black male jumped out of the bushes and attacked him with a knife.
The man retaliated with a rock he had in his hand and struck him a glancing blow.
Another three black males jumped out of the bushes and they all got into a scuffle, the one grabbed and pulled at the man’s pants and he fell down at which time his wife got out the car.
Fortunately someone who was driving past saw what was happening and came to help and the attackers then ran into the bushes.
SAPS dog unit was called and one of the suspects was caught by the dog and subsequently taken to hospital as he was badly injured by the dog.
The man and his wife are both okay apart from the knife wounds the man sustained on his arm and some bruising.
