Armed robbers on Monday morning, December 3, 2007 attacked an ambulance that was transporting a sick woman to the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital.
The ambulance was conveying Mad. Hilda Morton, a 69-year-old stroke patient to the hospital.
The attack which was carried out by three armed robbers took place at about 1:00 am around the Anglican Church at Kaneshie, a suburb of Accra.
The robbers who were wielding machetes and a pistol, were in a white taxi cab.
According to George Adi Morton, a son of the patient, they were getting ready to lift the mother into the ambulance when they were attacked. The robbers asked them to surrender everything in their possession.
He said they snatched his cousin’s handbag and the folder containing the patient’s medical records, thinking it contained money.
He said, the police were called but they arrived after the robbers had left.
They succeeded in taking away an amount of 1.2 million cedis.
