News24 reports that two ER24 paramedics and a patient had a very lucky escape after a large rock was thrown through the window of their ambulance on Thursday.
The two paramedics were transporting a patient on the N14 in Krugersdorp, when they were attacked. They managed to evade the hostile environment and found a safe place to stop where they assessed the situation. Fortunately, the medics hadn’t sustained any injuries. A second ambulance was called to the scene to transport the patient to a nearby hospital. At the scene of the crime, medics found the large rock in the left-hand lane. A witness to the incident said two young men had thrown the rock at the ambulance. ER24 condemned all attacks against emergency workers.
