In the wee hours of the night, a wheelchair-bound individual encountered both the local police and firefighters on two separate occasions.
In the early hours of Monday morning, an incident involving a wheelchair user occurred on Hanover Street. The incident, which took place around 1 am, caused quite a stir and kept local authorities, including the police and fire brigade, busy.
According to reports, the wheelchair user veered off course and fell about a meter deep, prompting passersby to alert an ambulance. The exact cause of the wheelchair user's disorientation remains unclear.
The wheelchair user's condition was such that they may have been influenced by alcohol, although this has not been officially confirmed. The individual's identity could not be determined at the time of the incident, and they did not have any identification on them.
The wheelchair user was taken to the hospital as a precaution, and it was later revealed that they required medical attention. The police took the wheelchair user into custody due to drunkenness and disorientation.
Interestingly, this is not the first time an incident has occurred on Hanover Street involving a wheelchair user. The location of the incident was Hanover Street for a second time.
The incident occurred around 8 pm on Sunday night, and it is believed that the police and fire brigade were initially called to the scene. However, the search results do not provide information about the name of the man who twice occupied the police and fire brigade on Hanover Street during the night from Sunday to Monday.
It is hoped that the wheelchair user will make a full recovery and that this incident will serve as a reminder to always prioritise safety, especially when under the influence of alcohol.
