Johannesburg - Three men shot at and hijacked the mother of a three-year-old boy at his nursery school in Kibler Park, south of Johannesburg, on Tuesday, emergency services said.
Spokesperson Percy Morokane said one of the three armed men shot at the woman as she walked to her car outside the Jelly Tots Nursery School after dropping her son off.
The three men forced her into her metallic blue Chevrolet Aveo and sped off minutes before the Johannesburg emergency services arrived at the scene, reacting to a call of a shooting incident outside the nursery school.
"It is believed that the MRT (Medical Response Team) with their sirens on, scared the criminals who then forced the victim into the vehicle," said Morokane.
The hijackers later dropped the woman off and she was found unharmed in a nearby street.
Nobody was injured in the incident. The three men are still at large.
