An ambulance officer was left shaken after being indecently assaulted by a patient she was caring for. The incident happened while the Hamilton-based officer was dropping the man at Waikato Hospital on Tuesday night. A 69 year old has now been charged with indecent assault and is due to appear in Hamilton District Court today. Police could not elaborate further on the details now the case was before the courts but it was understood the male patient allegedly grabbed the female officer’s breasts. The officer was in the ambulance on the Waikato Hospital grounds at the time. St John confirmed the female ambulance officer was assaulted while transporting the patient to hospital.
