US student’s hijack hell in Cape Town

Cape Town, Observatory …our attackers – a group of four men clothed in thick hoodies and wearing hats to hide their faces – approached. When one of them walked up to me, I thought he was going to mug me, but he just started shoving me into the car.

I could hear my friend screaming for help and my adrenalin kicked in as I started fighting back, exchanging blows with my attacker and trying to push him back. But they grouped together, overpowered me and forced me into the car, and then bundled in as well – three of them on the front seats and another with us at the back.
