A BULAWAYO man thought to be a pastor survived a Valentine's Day knife attack while romping with a mystery woman in his car, police said.
Married Douglas Mazengedza was getting frisky with the woman in a Toyota Fortuner vehicle parked near Centenary Park at dusk when robbers broke the window, stabbed him and demanded cash at knife-point.
Bleeding from two stab wounds on his back, he handed over cash and a cellphone before his attackers - believed to have been two - disappeared into the dark.
Bulawayo police spokesman Inspector Mandlenkosi Moyo said: "We're investigating a case in which a Bulawayo man was attacked by unknown people who robbed him of a cellphone and cash. We are yet to make arrests."
Police sources last night told Chronicle that Mazengedza and his female companion had turned up at the Bulawayo Central Police Station to file a report.
But in a final twist to the drama, the woman suddenly bolted out of the station, saying she did not want to be identified.
Mazengedza, meanwhile, later tried to convince the police to close his crime report.
Police found black ladies' panties and red male underwear in the car.
A source said: "He's lucky the thugs didn't rape his girlfriend. He went to UBH (United Bulawayo Hospitals) after the attack at about 7PM and was treated and discharged the same day.
"In a state of panic, he went on to make a police report which he later seemed to regret when he realised that the story could become public. He begged officers to tear up the docket or to change the date of the report to February 3.
"I think he was trying to hide the fact that he was robbed on Valentine's Day. It was then that the woman fled."
Last night, Mazengedza told Chronicle: "I don't want to talk to you because I know who sent you. You want to spread lies and tarnish my name."
He is believed to have misled his wife about the events that led to his assault. He told her he had been robbed and stabbed while walking from North End suburb, in broad daylight.
Last year, police said there was an increase in the number of people who get robbed while having sex in motor vehicles at secluded spots on the outskirts of the Central Business District.
In several reported cases, the robbers would rape the women before escaping with valuables.
