Doctor Attacked During CPR at Sassoon Hospital
27 Jul
Summary
- A doctor was assaulted while performing CPR on a patient.
- The patient's relative reportedly filmed the medical procedure.
- The attacker allegedly made threats before fleeing the hospital.

A distressing incident occurred last Sunday at Sassoon General Hospital when a 26-year-old medical practitioner was assaulted while performing a life-saving procedure. The doctor was administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to a critically ill patient when a relative of the patient began recording the event on their mobile phone.
When the doctor requested the relative to stop filming, an argument ensued. The situation escalated when the relative allegedly became abusive, charged at the doctor, and made threats before fleeing the hospital premises. The Bund Garden police were subsequently informed and have registered a case. Further investigation is currently underway to identify and apprehend the individual responsible for the assault and threats.
