Johannesburg -
A Johannesburg metro police officer was arrested on Thursday for allegedly
raping a woman in Protea Glen, Soweto, a spokesman said.
The 37-year-old
officer was accused of raping the 23-year-old woman at his home in Protea Glen
on Wednesday, said Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
She escaped and
went to the police.
Minnaar said
the arrest showed that the Johannesburg metro police would not hesitate to do
their duty.
“Officers will
have no mercy when it comes to the safety of the public, even if it means
arresting one of their own,” he said.
The man would
appear soon in the Protea Magistrate's Court.
