An ER24 paramedic
was this afternoon stabbed eight times in an attempted hijacking in
Vereeniging. It is believed the
paramedic Ryno Strydom was off-duty when he noticed a man lying in the middle
of the road.
He stopped to
assist the man but out of nowhere two men came running and pulled the paramedic
to the side of the road and stabbed him in the chest, throat, back and
legs.
ER24 Spokesperson
Luyanda Majija said the men searched Strydom and took his wallet, watch and
cellphone before stabbing him. The
paramedic then struggled his way back to the road where he got back into his
car and drove to the ER24 base.
Majija said when
Strydom got to the base he collapsed and because he was bleeding profusely
pressure was immediately applied to his wounds.
“He is currently
being treated at the Mediclinic Emfuleni and he is in a stable condition”.
