WATCH: Motorists left shocked after man throws toddler out of car in the East Rand
An eyewitness says he was so angry and disappointed that he cried.
Motorists were left shocked after they witnessed a man throw a young toddler out of his car next to a busy highway.
An eyewitness, Richard Potgieter, spoke to Express about the incident, saying that he and a friend were on their way to Boksburg from Kempton Park on the R21 when they witnessed the incident which was captured on his dashcam.
Potgieter told Express, “The man threw the girl, who can’t be much older than one, on the grass next to the highway and climbed back into his silver BMW.
“Around eight vehicles, including us, stopped on the scene. When the man saw all the cars, he ran back to get the child and sped off.”
According to Express, Potgieter also added that there was a woman seated in the passenger’s seat, but she did not get out of the car.
One driver apparently made an attempt to chase the man but was unsuccessful.
