In front of a hospital in Aschaffenburg, a man took possession of an unlocked ambulance. The catch: a patient is still on board. The man is obviously not master of his senses. During the drive, however, his thoughts seem to clear up at least slightly.

A 31-year-old stole an ambulance with a patient on board in Lower Franconia. The car was located in Aschaffenburg after a short time on Tuesday, the police said. The 22-year-old patient was still in the vehicle.

The perpetrator was arrested. He got into the van when it was standing unlocked in front of a hospital. The patient was supposed to be taken home after a hospital stay. She was unharmed in the incident.

The man was in an exceptional psychological situation and under the influence of medication, it said. He was admitted to a district hospital. According to the police, he is being investigated for, among other things, deprivation of liberty and theft.

A report by “Fränkische Nachrichten” suggests that despite the theft, the man may have had a happy ending in mind for the patient. The police arrested him after his trip to the city area in the area of ??another clinic, where he “obviously wanted to hand over the 22-year-old patient,” according to the local medium.
