A MAN is in a serious condition after he was shot during a hijacking in Wyebank in Pinetown yesterday morning, police said.

"The man was shot when he tried to assist his two sisters, who were being hijacked inside their yard," Lieutenant-Colonel Vincent Mdunge said.

He said the sisters were leaving home when three armed men demanded the car keys.

"They decided to reverse and the car hit the house.

When their brother went to check what was happening, he was shot. The car was taken by the hijackers," he said. - Sapa
