Paramedics responded to a request for medical assistance from the coal freight
ship sailing form Madagascar to Richards Bay .

Philippine national reportedly suffered the attack on Friday, while on board a
bulk coal carrier.

to be in a stable condition, was secured into a stokes basket stretcher and
lowered over the side of the ship onto our sea rescue craft where paramedics
continued medical treatment,” said Lambinon.
