Seven men were arrested on Thursday morning for torching a satellite police station in Sir Lowry's Pass village, Western Cape police said.
Lieutenant-Colonel Andrè Traut said petrol bombs were thrown at the station and an armed vehicle. The damage was being assessed.
Residents protested over service delivery on Wednesday morning, burning tyres and other items.
Traut said the situation was tense. The men would appear in Somerset West Magistrate's Court on Friday on public violence charges. – Sapa
