EWN reports that yet another ambulance crew has been targeted by criminals in Cape Town.
The Western Cape Health Department confirmed that armed men tried to hijack an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) crew at the Mfuleni Day Hospital on Thursday. The attackers fled empty handed after they were confronted by community members. Robert Daniels of Western Cape EMS said police later assisted the paramedics by escorting them out of the area. Mfuleni has been declared a red zone until 1pm on Friday, meaning all EMS crews require police escorts into the area. Recently, paramedics were robbed on the N2, which led to a critical delay in getting a seven-year-old boy to hospital, where he later died.
