Whilst transporting an ill patient on Sunday evening four men attempted to hijack a Rescue Care Ambulance.
Rescue Care Paramedics had responded to Ntuzuma E Section North of Durban to treat a medical emergency patient, the patient was loaded into the ambulance and whilst en route to Hospital whilst driving on Ntuzuma Access Road four men crossed the roadway from the left to the right and whilst the Paramedic driving the ambulance slows down to navigate speed bumps when he saw the men approaching the vehicle armed with handguns. Reacting instinctively he sped up before the men could action their intentions. The men then hit the rear of the ambulance and ran after the vehicle pointing firearms at the vehicle.
Fortunately the Paramedics and the patient were not injured in this terrible incident.
The incident was reported to the South African Police Service.
