Pretoria - Two robbers were shot by a man they were allegedly trying to rob in Hebron near Pretoria, police said on Sunday.
Four robbers, two armed with firearms, approached a 35-year-old man walking in the street with his wife on Friday night, said spokesperson Inspector Matthew Nkoadi.
One robber pointed a firearm at him, attempting to rob them, and the man in turn pulled his own licensed firearm and shot two of them, one in buttocks and one in the cheek. All four ran away, said Nkoadi.
They were all arrested at a hospital, where two were receiving medical attention for their injuries.
