They brought charges of causing minor bodily harm with hooligan motives against the man who attacked and beat up a security guard at the Sofia Emergency Center (CSMP). However, today he was released with the lightest measure of detention "subpoena". In this way, the Sofia District Prosecutor's Office clearly showed that for it this was "caress on the cheek", and not a beating of an employee of the Sofia Emergency Center, which led to teeth knocked out after blows with a chair and a series of hooks.
This is revealed by a report on bTV.
We recall that article art. 129, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code clearly states that moderate bodily harm is considered to be caused if a jaw fracture or teeth are knocked out. This crime is punishable by imprisonment for up to six years.
This is the case with a severely beaten security guard.
The severe beating caused a series of reactions. The Emergency Department once again demands more severe sanctions for attacks on system workers.
On January 1, at around 10:00 p.m., a man and a woman between the ages of 30 and 40 entered the dispatch center building. They were seeking medical help. However, there is no hospital on site, and all teams have been sent to addresses.
A video clip distributed by the Central Emergency Center shows the man jumping over the fences, then striking the security guard with his hands, feet and a chair. We are contacting the woman in the video. She does not want us to reveal her identity. She says she does not tolerate aggression.
“Passing by, we decided to stop and seek medical help, as my condition had deteriorated greatly. We were just passing by and it was the closest to us and we hoped there would be a medical professional,“ she said.
“An emergency room is not a hospital, nor is it a DCC. There is no hospital, there are no reception rooms for examinations and treatment. That's why we call ourselves “medicine on wheels“, because the workplace is in ambulances and at addresses“, says the spokesperson for the CSMP Katya Sungarska.
However, the versions of the causes of the incident differ. In front of bTV, the woman in the video stated that the security guard was sleeping and intoxicated, and they waited for 15 minutes.

“An emergency room is not a hospital, nor is it a DCC. There is no inpatient unit, no reception rooms for examinations and treatment. That's why we call ourselves “medicine on wheels“, because the workplace is in ambulances and at addresses“, says the spokesperson for the Central Emergency Medical Service Katya Sungarska.
However, the versions of the causes of the incident differ. The woman in the video stated to bTV that the security guard was sleeping and intoxicated, and they waited for 15 minutes.
“He was sleeping and smelled of alcohol. I personally tried to wake him up with words, but we couldn't do anything“, claims the woman in the video.
The emergency room denies everything and counters that all employees undergo alcohol checks every time they enter the building.
“The colleague enters, checks in with his card after using the breathalyzer and reporting that he has no alcohol - then the turnstile opens and he can enter his workplace“, explains Katya Sungarska.
The medics deny that the man and woman waited for a quarter of an hour without anyone paying attention to them.
“You have a video showing the moment these two people enter and the moment the man jumps the turnstile - exactly 29 seconds. And by the time he gets to the security guard to brutally beat him with this animal aggression, it's exactly 32 seconds“, adds Katya Sungarska.
After the blows with fists and a chair, a forensic medical examination was conducted. The District Prosecutor's Office reports that, according to the conclusion, the 59-year-old security guard suffered minor injuries.
“He will recover physically, however long it takes. But the mental trauma will never leave him“, believes the spokesperson for the Central Emergency Medical Service.
