The alleged child snatcher decided to drop his bail for safety reasons on Friday.
The 24-year-old man was seen in a viral video allegedly attempting to snatch a child at a restaurant in Florida, Gauteng.
Naseem Slamang appeared in the Roodepoort magistrate’s courts for his bail application.
Slamang’s attorney Eric Mahlalela stated that his client is no longer interested in being released on bail because he feared for his safety.
Mahlalela also told the court that his client “sustained serious injuries” before his arrest after he was attacked in the restaurant during the foiled incident.
This was noticeable because Slamang was limping as he approached the dock although, he covered his face with a shirt.
