On Saturday afternoon, emergency services responded to a stabbing incident at a residential home in Eldoraigne, Centurion.
Upon arrival, crews found a man in his forties who had sustained a stab wound to the chest, with the injury having penetrated the heart. Due to the severity of the injury, the patient was rapidly transported to a nearby hospital in a critical condition.
Recognising the acute seriousness of the patient’s condition, the emergency crew alerted Unitas Hospital in advance, allowing the trauma team to prepare for immediate intervention. Upon arrival at the hospital, a specialised trauma team was on standby and performed an emergency thoracotomy to control the bleeding and stabilise the patient.
Thanks to the swift actions of the CERT emergency crew and Emergency Medical Solutions on scene, together with the decisive and precise intervention by the trauma team at Netcare Unitas Hospital, the patient was successfully stabilised.
The patient remains in a critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, and we hope for a full recovery.
We extend our sincere thanks to Wierdabrug Sector 3 CPF patrollers, Copwatch, MonitorNet, Emergency Medical Solutions, and the dedicated team at Unitas Hospital for their assistance and professional cooperation.
