ORANJESTAD, Aruba – A Sabana Basora Hand Injury prompted a response from police and ambulance personnel on Saturday night after a man reportedly cut his hand on the glass of a door but later refused medical attention from paramedics.
According to the report, emergency authorities received notification Saturday evening that a man had suffered an injury to his hand in the Sabana Basora area. Police officers and an ambulance were dispatched to the location to assess the situation and provide assistance.
When police arrived, officers learned that the man had apparently injured his hand after coming into contact with glass from a door. The incident left him with a visible injury, although the original report does not provide further information regarding the size, depth or severity of the cut.
Ambulance personnel arrived shortly afterward to evaluate the injured man and determine whether medical treatment was necessary.
However, according to the report, the victim firmly refused medical attention from the ambulance crew.
Because the man did not consent to receiving assistance, ambulance personnel were unable to provide further treatment and eventually returned to their station.
The Sabana Basora Hand Injury did not result in hospital transportation, based on the information available in the original report.
No further details were provided about what happened before the man came into contact with the door glass. The source does not indicate whether the glass was already broken, whether the door was damaged during the incident or whether the injury occurred accidentally while the man was opening, closing or handling the door.
The report also does not mention whether another person was involved in causing the injury.
Police attended the scene, but no arrest or criminal investigation was mentioned in the information provided.
Similarly, there was no indication that firefighters or other emergency services were required.
The man’s identity and age were not released, and no update was provided regarding his condition after he refused ambulance assistance.
Emergency medical personnel are regularly dispatched when authorities receive reports of injuries so that victims can be assessed at the scene. In this case, however, the patient chose not to accept the treatment that was offered.
The Sabana Basora Hand Injury therefore concluded without ambulance transportation to the hospital.
The available report confirms only that the man suffered a hand injury involving door glass, police and paramedics responded, and the individual declined medical assistance.
Because no additional medical information was released, it is not possible to determine whether the man later sought treatment independently or whether the injury required further care.
No other injuries were reported in connection with the incident.
Authorities have not released additional information about the circumstances surrounding the injury or any further action following the emergency response.
