Special Report Transcript Episode 30, Section 2, Time 08:02

En route to the intersection we passed five adults, black male. They walked on the right hand side of the road in a westerly direction, in the direction of the intersection. They appeared very suspect because they all walked with their hands in their pockets and did not even pinch a glance in our direction. We slowly drove past them. They continued to ignore us and this appeared very strange to me. After we had passed them we were a bit of a distance past them I asked Warrant Officer Coetzee to turn around and drive back to the five men. While we were moving in the direction of these five men I asked Coetzee to stop in front of the men, a bit of a distance in front of the men, so that I could jump out and could instruct them to stand still so that we could search them. I quickly opened the left front door with my service pistol in my right hand. The vehicle’s door was between myself and the men. Before I could point my firearm properly at them or could say anything the shortest of the five persons who was dressed in black pants took something out of his pants and threw it in my direction. I saw almost immediately that it was a hand grenade that this person was throwing at me.
