Young man allegedly knocks out a security guard at Ridge Hospital

A young man has allegedly knocked out a security guard at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital commonly known as Ridge Hospital in Accra.

According to multiple reports, the young man knocked out the security guard after he was told that visiting hours had ended and he would not be allowed to see a patient.

The security guard, attempting to prevent a disgruntled visitor from entering the ward section after visiting hours, was knocked unconscious by the young man.

In the viral video shared by multiple accounts on X, the young man was shown being told to pick up the knocked-out security guard.

Reports suggest the officer was later rushed to the emergency unit for treatment.

Some X users reacting to the viral video stated, “@GhPoliceService I respectfully wish to report a video circulating on social media which shows a man physically assaulting a security officer at Ridge Hospital. As a concerned citizen, I believe this matter requires investigation to ensure law and order are maintained. Thank you”.

“Is this some kind of joke or what? Unless so….because how come someone looks unconscious in a health facility and there’s no urgency from health professionals around? This is so crazy, and you’ve left him in the hands of the alleged person who knocked him out? Ahhh!”, one X user added.

“Someone collapsed inside a hospital,  a staff ti he precise, nursing staff are standing there speaking Ga instead of doing something mmoa”, a netizen added.

A netizen added, “2 wrongs don’t make a right, but within a health facility infact RIDGE and a staff is unconscious yet no emergency treatment? First Aid? Nurses to attend to him. this says a lot about us as citizens sometimes asem mp3 nipa awwn poor boy in a whole mess cus of anger”.

“So they won’t rush us health professionals to save the security and later deal with that wicked boy? Did I just see a nurse and a doctor just stand there and do nothing or my eyes are deceiving me? Save the dude from any extra damage to his head. I’m fuming “, one X user added.

“I’m sorry but the health professionals standing there at that moment are very stupid and foolish.

Instead of rushing him to the emergency unit, y’all are just standing there. Challe, these health workers lately err.

No wonder, most of them enter kuz that’s one of the easiest to get”, one more Ghanaian added.

The video has emerged at a time Ghana’s health system has come under scrutiny following the death of a hit-and-run incident at Nkrumah Circle Overpass in Accra, which was refused emergency care by three major hospitals in Accra due to no vacant beds.

According to reports, for close to three hours on February 6, 2026, the victim was denied treatment by Ridge, Police, and Korle Bu hospitals before passing away.

He was later identified as 29-year-old Charles Amissah, an engineer working at Promasidor Ghana Limited, producers of Cowbell milk and other food products.

In related news, Seasoned journalist and host of the Citi Breakfast Show, Bernard Avle, has poured his outrage at Ghana’s medical system after the death of a hit-and-run victim who was turned away by three hospitals in Accra.

Bernard Avle stressed that a medical professional who refuses to provide care for sick or injured people brought to the hospital are evil person.

According to Bernard Avle, who recounted a similar event of a 70-year-old man in 2018 who went to seven hospitals before passing away in his car, highlighting that it been eight years but there have been no serious shifts in the operational policy.

He stressed that Doctors and nurses need to have empathy, but in Ghana, many people are in the medical field just because of money.

Speaking on Citi FM, an irate Benard Avle stated, “How can a society sit down for such a thing to happen and not put in place any systems? You covered a 70-year-old man who went to seven hospitals in 2018. From 2018 to 2026 is eight years, have there been any serious shifts in the operational policy of hospitals to show that we value life? We don’t most people who enter this profession are just looking for money, that is what we do.

Shame on you, shame on you, Pastors Sunday preach about these things, Preach about it that if you are a nurse and somebody is brought to your hospital and you don’t care about the person and the person dies, you are an evil person.

If you are a Doctor who does not care about someone’s death because you claim… You don’t know anything; your training is incomplete. Empathy is part of your training”.

The seasoned journalist and host further bemoan how Ghana’s system, be it the Hospital, Court, or Police are structured to frustrate a person with no money.

“There is a lot of hypocrisy in the society, because there are society that are less religious than us, who preserve human lives and organise their systems to make sure that nobody dies a stupid death and whether you go to court, you go to the police, you to the hospital, the whole system is structured to frustrate you if you do not have money”, he added.
