PHILLIPI, WC - An 18-year-old has been arrested, following an attack on three Democratic Alliance Members of Parliament.

They came under attack this afternoon, after an oversight visit in Philippi.

Schickerling says the men shattered several of the car’s windows. But they managed to geta away and drive to a nearby petrol station.

Gotsell suffered a laceration to his head, while Cameron's lip and chin were injured. Schicklerling was hit with a brick on the back of the head.
