Three Limpopo police officers were injured when community members in Greenside allegedly attacked them and freed four men who were arrested as undocumented foreign nationals. Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said: “During the arrest, one of [the foreign nationals] allegedly took out a knife and advanced towards the police members, allegedly threatening to stab them, but was shot and injured. “The brother of the injured foreign national allegedly incited community members in the area to attack the police who then started throwing stones and in the process, [injured] three police members and [damaged] their three vehicles. Community members then released all arrested illegal immigrants from police vehicles,” Mojapelo said.
