# Two SAPS officers and a murder suspect were rescued after being trapped by an angry mob in Ndwendwe, KwaZulu-Natal, following an arrest yesterday. Police had apprehended a 22-year-old murder suspect after a two-hour search and initially handed him over without incident. However, a large crowd later gathered, blocked the property’s exit with concrete blocks and steel drums, and demanded his release. Reaction Unit South Africa says the situation escalated quickly, forcing a rescue operation to safely extract police and the suspect.
