Cape Town - Paramedics are planning a protest march after more than 60 of them have come under attack when responding to calls.

The past weekend there were three attacks on separate Western Cape teams.

Garth Botha, a paramedic for the Western Cape EMS, described an attack on him and his partner as the “worst night shift as a medic”.

The pair responded to what they thought was a shooting incident, but which turned out to be a stabbing in Paarl.

He posted about his ordeal on Facebook, saying they were attacked by about 10 knife-wielding men who wanted to get to the patient.

“I think their intention was to kill him... they were like animals trying to break down the doors of the ambulance. They even broke one of the side windows by stabbing through it. Luckily we could get away.”

He said one of the men even hung on to the side of the ambulance for more than 200 metres.

I hope those people that attack medics fall into a pit of acid and die slowly while the medics protest.
