– During the journey to the hospital, the patient became more and more stimulated. Due to the fact that the doctor and the nurse were not able to control his aggression, it became necessary to stop the ambulance and ask for help from the driver to calm down the man. The perpetrator began to dig and hit the medics with his fists, as a result of which they left the ambulance and decided to close the patient inside it – said Prosecutor Miłosz Bystrzycki from the press team of the District Prosecutor's Office in Katowice
