Free State police in Zastron have appealed to the public for assistance in locating suspects involved in a group fight that left a 36-year-old man critically injured on Sunday (21/06).
According to Free State police spokesperson Sinah Mpakane, officers responded to a complaint of people fighting on Sunday morning. Upon arrival, they found Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel attending to an injured man.
“It is alleged that a group of people were involved in a fight. The victim, Mojalefa Tshupane (36) from Ezibeleni location, Matlakeng in Zastron, was unable to speak due to his critical condition and could not be interviewed,” said Mpakane.
