Hectic shootout on Beyers Naude leaves SA shocked

A man found himself in the middle of a shootout at a petrol station in Northcliff, Johannesburg on Thursday afternoon. Dustin Bezuidenhout was interviewed by YOU magazine about the incident and filming the ordeal. 

Bezuidenhout says it was absolutely frightening. 

“Me and a colleague had just popped in to quickly fill up when we saw the silver Mercedes collided with a black bakkie,” he said.

“We were just watching everything unfold at that point, but when the guy stepped out of the car with a gun and the security vehicle also arrived on scene, I just knew I had to take out my phone.”

According to News24, the three men were fleeing from an attempted robbery in Montgomery Park in a silver Mercedes Benz, when they were chased by a security guard from Suburban Control Centre.
