WATCH | Criminals try to kidnap a motorist during Soweto hijacking

CCTV footage emerged on social media of criminals attempting to kidnap a motorist in Soweto Diepkloof Extention, on Sunday evening, during a hijacking. 

The suspects approach a VW Polo parked in the driveway with a occupant in the car.

The hijackers stop behind the vehicle, blocking the car between the gate and the street.

Two occupants of the getaway car disembark to approach the victim's car, where they force him out of the driver's seat and into the back seat.

The victim managed to exit the car on the other side, escaping into the yard once the gate opened.

The vehicle is  still missing.
