PARAMEDICS from KwaZuluNatal’s Emergency Medical Services described their fear when they were attacked in the Slangspruit area in
Pietermaritzburg during the weekend.
No one knows what became of the pregnant woman who had called
for help as the paramedics did not reach their destination.
The woman is reported to have called for an ambulance again after the
attack to say she was still at the scene and needed assistance.
The paramedics, who asked not to be named, said they
could not continue working after they were attacked while responding to a
maternity call in Slangspruit on Saturday night at around 11 pm.
A female paramedic from the team said after trying to
open a case at the Alexandra road police station, they were told that there was
no evidence showing that the man were trying to hijack them.
He said there should be an arrangement with the community because although they cannot compromise their safety as paramedics, the community
needed the ambulance.
