    Another day, another example of a man who allegedly turns violent after having his advances rejected.

    In South Africa, this is all too common, with patrons at News Café in Rosebank on Friday forced to flee as a 33-year-old man attempted to crash his car into the restaurant.

    According to information via the Rosebank Management District, he “tried to drive his car into the News Café after being denied entry by the bouncers. He reportedly arrived there to see his ex-girlfriend who did not want to see him.”

    The Management District is aware of the unfortunate incident that took place at Newscafe last night and our reaction officers were available to assist despite one of our vehicles being damaged in the process. The matters is now in the hands of law enforcement #Rosebank pic.twitter.com/eXbGrIyZjg

    Thankfully, for those inside the restaurant, and particularly those outside in the smoking section, cars parked in the road prevented him from reaching the restaurant itself.

    TimesLIVE reports:

    Gauteng police spokesperson Capt Mavela Masondo said the man was arrested on Friday and will make his first court appearance on Monday morning at Hillbrow magistrate’s court.

    Masondo said the man was charged with reckless and negligent driving and driving while under the influence of alcohol.

    News Café sent out this statement on Friday night:

    Others who were in attendance that night shared their accounts:

    Someone at Rosebank Mall just drove their call into the News Cafe clearly trying to injure someone. One of the scariest moments of my life having to be pulled away to avoid being knocked by this guy 😓 hope everyone is okay and safe.

    You know what started this? He wanted to get his girlfriend. We don’t even know if she’s his actual girlfriend or if they had just met. Toxic masculinity is literally a danger to us all! pic.twitter.com/RgnV3Wf8xN

    The eyewitness above stated that the man “initially got into a scuffle with the bouncers,” before a waiter pushed patrons out of the way and said “this guy is about to drive into the restaurant,” which he attempted twice.

    That same account added that in the second attempt, “he tried to drive into the side of the restaurant where the smoking section is and was literally blocked by the cars parked in the street. If it wasn’t for the cars he probably would’ve been successful in driving in.”

    Unconfirmed reports suggest the woman was a waitress at the cafe:

    Not this guys tryna drive into News Cafe Rosebank to get his girlfriend (or ex)… Just because she refused to come out and talk to him. She is a waitress there. Nigga attempted to drive INTO the establishment.. Abantu baqhashe balahleka all over the show.

    Guys, men ain’t shit.

    At the time of writing, it is not yet known whether the man has appeared in court today.
