A man in his 30’s is in a critical condition after allegedly being stabbed multiple times while he was at a residence on a plot in Buyscelia.
The man was found lying in the grass outside of the house with his two friend standing over him with growing concern at his condition. The local police escorted the paramedics to where they found the man with what appeared to be more than 20 wounds across the entire surface of his body.
Being awake, the man was in a great deal of pain and he was losing a lot of blood. Paramedics quickly started stabilising the injured man and attending to his multiple wounds. His friends assisted the paramedics where they could, holding equipment and passing them their necessary tools.
To speed up the time of the man’s transport to hospital, a Medicopter was called in which met the ambulance crew at the Meyerton Fire Station and he was airlifted to the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Johannesburg. His injuries were extremely critical and the trauma team at the hospital were awaiting his arrival.
The police will investigate the exact details of the incident.
