A video that reportedly shows a woman being left outside of a Baltimore emergency center has gone viral.
A pedestrian captured the incident on video, in which he says staff at the University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown campus left a woman, only in her hospital gown, near a bus stop in about 30-40 degree weather Wednesday night.
UMMC officials are now investigating after the woman was left on the street in a gown and socks.
Imamu Baraka was leaving his office across the street from the hospital just as workers wheeled the patient out and left her at the bus stop.
“Are you OK? Are you able to speak? Do you need me to call the police?” Baraka said in the video, moments after the woman was left outside.
“This woman was placed in the city of Baltimore, in the dead of night, in the cold, vulnerable, exposed,” he said. “She lets out this kind of cry. I felt that. I’m like, ‘come on, let’s go over here. Let’s sit down.’ And, then, she begins to stumble, and I’m like this is going to get bad really fast.”
