Cape Town police
are investigating an attack on paramedics which resulted in an eight-year-old
patient dying in the back of an ambulance.

The ambulance was transporting the boy to Red Cross Children's Hospital when the paramedics were robbed at gunpoint.
They were ambushed while travelling on the N2 near Borcherds Quarry in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Western Cape emergency services spokesperson Robert Daniels says the young boy, who had sustained severe head injuries in a motorbike accident, passed away due to the delay.
This is the latest in a series of ambulance attacks in the Western Cape in recent months.
Provincial police spokesperson, Noloyiso Rwexana, says three suspects are on the run.
"Nyanga police are investigating cases of robbery and malicious damage to property. No one has been arrested at this stage," she says.
Western Cape health department spokesperson Zimkhitha Mqutheni is urging the public to report perpetrators to the police.
She says the ambulance, along with several other vehicles, were attacked on the highway.
“The valuables in the ambulance were taken,” Mqutheni confirms.
