Diepsloot residents are remaining tight-lipped about a mob justice attack in the area on Saturday.

Angry crowds turned on two men who were accused of committing crime in Extension One on Friday night.

A family member of one of the men was also attacked when he tried to stop the dozens of residents from attacking the two.

It is believed the mob quickly dispersed when police arrived on the scene and found one victim unconscious.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

The incident comes just two weeks after two people were killed and another was seriously hurt in another mob justice attack.
