Cape Town - Police arrested four men at a popular bar in Newlands on Wednesday morning after walking in on them during an attempted armed robbery. Details were sketchy, but police spokesperson Constable Siphokazi Mawisa told News24 the policeman entered Cubana in Newlands at about 08:30 on Wednesday.

Police were still looking for a fifth man who'd evaded arrest. "There was a police chopper circling," said Warren Rohner, a witness who was at the scene.

According to Rohner, Main Road between Protea Road and SAB brewery was cordoned off.

Detectives were on the scene and investigations were continuing, according to the police.

More details to follow.
