A prominent South African member of Parliament fired shots to fend off a violent attack by a gang on him and two of his colleagues in Cape Town.
Ian Cameron, along with the two other members of parliament's police committee, Lisa Schickerling and Nicolas Gotsell, were returning from a work trip when their vehicle was ambushed in the township of Philippi on Tuesday.
The assailants smashed the car's windows with bricks, injuring Cameron and Gotsell.
Cameron, whose teeth were broken, retaliated by opening fire, injuring one of the attackers.
Police said two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, were arrested as they investigate a case of attempted murder and attempted hijacking.
