A teenager and a domestic worker are both in a serious condition after allegedly being assaulted at a residence in Howick this afternoon. Just after twelve o’clock this afternoon ER24 paramedics rushed out to a call at a residence in the Howick West area where two people had allegedly been assaulted.
When they arrived on the scene, they were directed by the Howick SAPS and members of the family to were the patients were found. The domestic worker had sustained a head injury during the assault and needed specialised equipment to help protect her from any further injury.
The teenager was assessed by the paramedics and found that he had sustained a possible gunshot wound to the leg. He was stabilised by means of advanced life support intervention. Both were transported to hospital in a serious but stable condition for further medical care. The motive around the assault is yet unclear but the local SAPS from Howick will be investigating the incident further.
