Eyewitnesses claim the officer did not check on the patient's condition and appeared more focused on halting the vehicle than ensuring the patient received urgent care.

This action has raised serious questions about the officer’s judgement and the potential risk posed to the patient’s life.

The Fiji Police Force has stated they are trying to find out what actually happened.
