A case of an elderly man who was caught on video violently assaulting a 16-year-old boy in Groblersdal was on Friday postponed to June 24.
The 50-year-old was arrested on Thursday after the assault video went viral on social media this week. He appeared at the Groblersdal magistrate’s court on charges of assault and pointing a firearm.
Police confirmed in a statement that the suspect had threatened the young boy with firearm outside the Game Centre, a food outlet in Groblersdal.
It is alleged that the two argued about seasoning and the man insisted on using it first, leading to the argument and assault.
