Man Armed With AK-47 Robs Doctors & Nurses At Hospital
At about 2:45 a.m. this morning, a man armed with an AK-47 assault rifle reportedly entered Ward One at the Spanish Town Hospital, and accosted medical staff who were attending to patients. The staff (including doctors, nurses and other attendants) were reportedly roughed up and robbed of their cellular phones, money, and jewelery.
One doctor, a foreign national, was reportedly gun-butted several times, after he apparently did not respond to an instruction from the gunman. Reports indicate that the instruction was stated in Jamaican patois, but that the Doctor did not understand and comply quickly enough.
