News24 reports that Durban paramedics narrowly escaped injury after being trapped right in the middle of an armed robbery in the city centre, which saw a bullet strike their vehicle.
Armed assailants allegedly robbed a man as he was travelling along Berea Road. The attackers encountered the ambulance, which was arriving to attend to reports of an accident scene. They then opened fire at the paramedics. ALS paramedics spokesperson, Garrith Jamieson, said that, in responding to the scene, paramedics saw men pointing firearms at the crashed vehicle. "Suspects then began shooting at our ambulance and our crews managed to evade and call for help. The staff were very lucky to escape without injury as the vehicle sustained a bullet hole entering the front cabin above the driver's head and exiting through the rear door," he reported. The car's occupant is believed to have been robbed of a large sum of cash by the assailants. No injuries were reported to any persons on scene.
