A young woman was left with severe facial injuries after allegedly being assaulted by her boyfriend in what appears to have been a violent domestic dispute over infidelity.
According to witnesses, the incident occurred late last night at a private residence in [Thembisa, Gauteng]. Neighbors reported hearing shouting and a struggle before the victim was seen leaving the house with visible swelling on her face and seeking help.
Emergency services were called to the scene, and the woman was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she is receiving treatment for her injuries. Police confirmed that an investigation is underway and that the suspect, believed to be her boyfriend, has been taken into custody.
Authorities have urged the public to remember that no form of violence is acceptable in relationships. “Disagreements should never escalate into physical abuse,” said a police spokesperson. “We encourage anyone experiencing domestic violence to report it immediately or seek help from local support organizations.”
The victim is expected to recover physically, but officials stress that emotional and psychological support will be crucial in the aftermath of the attack
