Five arrested for stabbing of on-duty PMB paramedic
Four suspects thought to have been involved in the stabbing of a paramedic in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday, are expected to appear in court tomorrow.
It's understood that the paramedic was with his colleague on duty when four men approached them.
An argument allegedly broke out, before the medic was assaulted and then stabbed in the face and hand.
The 24-year-old man is still recovering in hospital.
The police's Nqobile Gwala says a fifth suspect has also been arrested.
"Charges of assault and drunken driving are being investigated by Mountain Rise Police. Five suspects were arrested for assault - while one of the arrested suspects was charged with drunken driving," she said.
