The sudden violence led to chaos, with hospital staff scrambling for safety. Fortunately, no medical personnel were injured. The entire incident was captured on the hospital’s CCTV cameras.
The situation escalated when two injured youths arrived at the accident room for treatment. While doctors were examining them, a rival group entered and started attacking them. The brawl quickly spiraled out of control as objects were thrown, and the accident room turned into a battleground. Doctors and nurses had to take cover to protect themselves from the violence.
