ER24 said their paramedics arrived on the scene in Plane Road in the Spartan suburb to find the security vehicle on fire and the two officers on the side of the road.

“The more seriously injured patient, a 49-year-old man, had suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and required Advanced Life Support interventions to stabilise his condition,” he said.
