News24 reports that an attack on an ambulance in Nyanga that left a paramedic injured is being investigated, Western Cape police said on Wednesday.
Bricks were flung at the provincial health EMS vehicle just after noon on Tuesday, on the corner of Eisleben and Lansdowne Roads. One of the bricks flung at the ambulance entered the cabin and hit the emergency medical practitioner in her back. The other crew member was left uninjured but traumatised. Department spokesperson Robert Daniels said the crew members were removed from duty, received medical attention and were offered counselling. Nyanga has been declared a red zone, which means no EMS vehicle can enter the area without a police escort until 07:00.
