A 47-year-old man has been st@bbed by a teenage boy whom he s0d0mized at Tongaat in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) in a statement on Thursday, August 15, 202, said its officers were dispatched to Temple Drive in Mitchell Village at approximately 22:49 on Tuesday after receiving reports that a seriously injured male was lying on the side of the road.

On arrival, the officers found the man bleeding profusely from his injuries. He informed them that he was the victim of a robbery.

Reaction Officers summoned the South Africa Police Service (SAPS) to the scene.

On arrival, police confirmed that a teenager was at the police station registering a case of r@pe.

The description of the suspect was similar to that of the injured male.

According to the complainant, he was approached by a man who offered him a drink. The boy lost consciousness after he consumed the liquid.

He woke up in a bush while the accused was sodomising him.

The victim retrieved his pocket knife and repeatedly stabbed his attacker before he fled to the Tongaat SAPS to report the matter.

The teenager arrived on the scene and confirmed that the injured male was the same individual who r@ped him.

It is believed that the suspect was being sought for the s3xual assault of other minor boys.
