Another motorist has come forward claiming she was abused by a Johannesburg metro police official.
Melissa de Waard said she was verbally abused and threatened by a metro cop in Fourways last week.
De Waard said she approached the officer after she saw him accept a bribe from a motorist who had been pulled over.
"He said to me 'how f-ing dare you question me' and I said to him 'I've just seen you take a bribe'. He wouldn't hear me. He said 'I know where you live and I know where you work'."
Last week, Laura Borah told Eyewitness News she was arrested after being physically and verbally abused by a metro policewoman in the city centre who claimed she skipped a red robot.
Both women have laid a complaint against the JMPD.
