Following the surfacing of a video clip on various social media platforms showing a physical altercation, where a male individual is seen assaulting a 21-year-old female, police have confirmed that a 22-year-old high school learner has been arrested and charged.
He is expected to make his first court appearance in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on 12 June 2026.
“We strongly plead for calm and space to allow the police investigation to take its natural course. The SAPS views all acts of violence, particularly against the vulnerable, in a serious light and is committed to ensuring that justice is served,” the South African Police Service said in a statement.
The police said further updates will be communicated as the investigation progresses. – SAnews.gov.za
