Some of the officials who were interviewed at the hospital said they were shocked to discover what had been done to the said vehicle.
“It is clear that the person who did this was angry with the staff members at the hospital,” said an official.

“This is clearly an attack by someone who is angry,” he said.

He also said he did not rule out the possibility of interference by someone who also worked within the hospital.

The vehicle remained grounded for several hours of the day.
