SA high jump champion Jacques Freitag has been charged with assault after he allegedly kicked and hit a schoolboy in Pretoria in a road-rage incident.
He allegedly attacked Raymond Williams (17) in the street after a car chase. A witness told Beeld: I saw a young man being punched and beaten. He (Freitag) acted ruthlessly. I couldn\'t believe someone of his calibre would do such a thing, she said. Williams laid a charge at the Brooklyn police station. His family is also considering instituting a claim against Freitag.
