Summary
A Christchurch man in his mid-fifties was brutally attacked and had his car stolen after stopping to help what he thought was a car crash victim — only to be met with punches, kicks, and a getaway by three assailants. The stolen vehicle later linked to a liquor store ram-raid, sparking suspicion the scene may have been staged to lure victims. Though the man survived with injuries and emotional trauma, he’s received medical care, counseling, and workplace support. His car was recovered intact but without key items like the garage remote and dashcam. Now, he drives with doors locked and vows to call emergency services instead of stopping in future emergencies.
