Johannesburg - A gunman will appear in Randburg magistrate's court on Thursday after he and two other men tried to rob a restaurant at Village Walk Mall in Sandton, Johannesburg police said.
The man allegedly walked into Carluccio's Restaurant at around 17:30 on Tuesday and placed an order at the counter. His accomplices meanwhile sat at a table, police spokesperson Constable Sefako Xaba said.
It is believed that as the order was being taken, the gunmen threatened staff with a gun in an attempt to rob the restaurant.
"Three shots were fired but no injuries were reported," Xaba said.
He added that the man was apprehended by restaurant staff and handed over to police.
The other two escaped.
