Assault victim hung out to dry by police

Have you ever been to a police station to report a crime only to have the officers on duty try and talk you out of opening a case?

This is what happened to a Johannesburg woman, who got lost while driving around the East of the city. She was delivering food parcels to people in need and was stabbed multiple times.
