TANGERANG - The Tangerang Metro Police Chief, Kombes Komarudin will follow up on the Mercedes Benz (Mercy) luxury car preventing ambulances from carrying pregnant women.

"Our jurisdiction (Tangerang Metro Police) allows for the incident, but the facts have been reported to the Tangerang Police. However, if there are indications of the jurisdiction of the Tangerang Metro Police, we are ready to handle it," said Komarudin when contacted, Friday, March 19.

Based on the information he received, Komarudin said that the incident was caused by a Mercedes Benz vehicle obstructing the journey of the ambulance which was taking the patient.

However, he also received information that the incident had been reported to the Tangerang Police.

"It really seems like a pregnant woman's journey in the ambulance is blocked or blocked by the vehicle in front of her," said Komarudin.

"But for further problems, of course, the Tangerang Police may handle it, because it was reported there," he added.

Previously, it was reported that a white Mercedes Benz luxury sedan was reported to have blocked the speed of an ambulance carrying a female patient to the hospital to give birth.

The Mercedes Benz driver did not accept the ambulance driver because his rearview mirror was grazed. The commotion lasted until the ambulance arrived at the Tangerang Regency General Hospital (RSUD).

When contacted, an ambulance driver named Hildan said that the incident occurred on the Tangerang-Jakarta toll road, Saturday, March 12, at around 02.00 WIB.

After the rearview mirror hit, continued Hildan, the Mercedes Benz tried to catch up and overtake the ambulance until it finally arrived at the Tangerang District Hospital.

"He was chasing and wanted to overtake, I just didn't give him because I was bringing a patient who really had to get to the hospital because he was having convulsions. He was also after oxygen," said Hildan.

Arriving at the hospital, still said Hildan, the sedan was immediately parked blocking the ambulance which was lowering the patient.

"Immediately blocked. The driver immediately got off and got angry at me with harsh words, even I wanted to be hit, I was pulled by the collar of my shirt with him," he said.

Luckily at that time there was security who intervened.

"I care about the patient first. I sent down the patient who had to get surgery immediately. He had entered the hospital, after that my shirt collar was pulled and wanted to be hit but was quickly dispersed by security officers," he said.
