Stunning scene in Pakistan as hundreds of lawyers storm a hospital, attacking doctors and staff to avenge what they said was an assault by doctors on a colleague. Officials say three patients died when doctors had to flee the scene.

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.LAHORE, Pakistan -- Pakistan on Thursday leveled “treason” charges against 250 lawyers who were part of a mob that stormed a hospital in the eastern city of Lahore the previous day, kicking and punching doctors and staff and trashing equipment and property, police said.

The exceptionally high level of charges reflects the authorities' frustration over the violence. The incident drew nationwide condemnation and the government says those linked to the violence will be tried in anti-terrorism courts and that maximum punishment will be sought for them. They also beat the doctors and medics with sticks, and smashed windows, doors and medical equipment at the only government-run heart hospital in the province of Punjab.

Under Pakistani laws, assaults on government buildings and other property can carry the charge of treason. Such cases are then handled by anti-terrorism courts, which were primarily set up by to try suspects linked to acts of terrorism."We have arrested some lawyers and no one linked to the attack on the hospital will be spared,” said Zulfikar Hameed, the city's police chief.

Suddenly feeling very thankful for the lawyers we have in the USA. As much flack as they get they haven't formed their own street gang to terrorize hospitals.

Product of thousands of generations of inbreeding culture, sad

Those who couldn't make it may their souls rest in peace😔😔😔😔

Looks like the sequel to Reservoir Dogs.

Gratuitous violence. What are the trying to prove b

The advantages and benefits of inbreeding.

If they're lawyers why do they act like monkeys in suit with rabies

Generations of first-cousin marriages, go figure...

Inbreeded (?) lawyers going bananas in Pakistan... What could a man-made god knew about the risks with cousin marriages?

🐵🐵🐵

This is why we need to combat islam and muslims.

Then they do to the Doctor they beat up to ask for help

sanjeevsanyal Lawyers are supposed to abide by law and not defy it. These goons are turning law into anarchy. I wonder what justification would they offer the judge when defending themselves!!!

Fuc*ing Pakistan!

This action to attack hospital by a group of Lawyers in Lahore mostly pro PMLN a political party blame for soft corner supportive for Modi India

India and Pakistan.. United by culture

Ambulance chasers indeed

Animals

Well, it goes to show that our human instincts will most times supersede our professional judgments.

🙄 professionals are behaving this way ?

greta I’d rather have a hard time getting legal advice than getting medical care.

Sad! 🙏🏼

MusicNegrito These people have nukes.

greta What is this like the anchorman movie fight scene ? So 3rd world bizarre

FDAllenGroupInc lol ..

What a crappy country to live in.

The lawyers need to rethink priorities. Doctors are more necessary than lawyers to actually live.

Umm 🤔 I really have no words for this. But dang glad I don’t live there. Poor people

Yep! Coming to America soon! All the emotional white men in power!

Sooooooooo Pakistan only sells one suite?

greta This is their best and brothers? Oh, lawyers? That explains it.

Doctors vs. Lawyers This is the fight we all need.

greta All men in that video. -all. Men.

Lawyers,, what kinda of Law they teach in Pakistan? If the Lawyer behaves like mobsters, hate to see how a true mobster behave

If only there were some sort of religion of peace they could adhere to.

That's the best dressed riot I've ever witnessed.

WTF

Thugs in suits

Isn’t this stupid.

Now those are the dumbest lawyers on the planet Why not just take the doctors to court?

... strikingly similar behavioural traits with their counterparts in India !!!

I always knew lawyers were crazy.

Although horrible, it wasn't long ago we had trade unions on the street in battle..

All over the world this set is smug and entitled. This however is a whole new depth of depraved behaviour.

Jesus these are me who went to college and are smart enough to be lawyers and they act like this. Sue them

It's a Gentleman Revolution 😂

Very embarrassing that so called educated community is doing it.

Que absurdo imagina se o presidente da OAB,que se acha o semi-deus,fizesse isso aqui no brazil?

Stupid. Put them all in jail even though they are lawyers. No bail allow and strip all their license since they are all know the law but break the law still

Barbarians

This is Trumps fault. He should have nuked Pakistan years ago.

nautymatox Only in Pakistan. Probably beacuse their schools teach discipline with a stick.

Nas_k27 They forgot to mention the funniest part. The patient who was seen being wheel chaired into the ambulance was actually one of the attacker who dressed as a patient and got away hahahahaha....oscar award is recommended for him on Pakistan social media.

And that's the educated people!!!

This is what it looks like when there is no rule of law. Chaos ensues

chicomenashe Modern culture....

Animals dressed in suits!

Religion of “peace”

PAKISTAN: Hundreds of lawyers storm a hospital, attacking doctors and staff because of an assault by doctors on a colleague. 😮🥺😫🙄🇵🇰

WTH is going on? Barbaric behavior by educated people. It’s unbelievable!🙁

What the hell is wrong with those people. Definitely not civilized.

What the...?

Great judicial system!

we should rescue them by air transporting all of them to Rochester, NY. Lots of vacant beds there.

Ew

Lawyers my a$$. They probably don’t even sit for an exam. Garbage country.

When society finally breaks down, lawyers and judges will be the first to turn savage...

It's the doctors' fault. Patient welfare must always come first. They should have known better than to leave their patients unattended. Now maybe the lawyers can help the patients' families sue the hospital.

NoahCRothman TheRealAmmadO Lawyers be wildin like that? Look like a bunch of Reservoir Dog impersonators.

All this people are crazy

CityBureaucrat impressive guild-flexing

I'll never understand crazy people

Lawyers-5

They seem civilized

Am I the only one that thinks it’s hilarious all these businessman looking motherfuckers showed up? 😂😂😂

Speechless

is it just me or is the world getting crazier out there?

The barbarianism of these lawyer is disgraceful. Every members of the legal fraternity should hang his/her head in shame. Pakistan should cancel their Licenses and send them to Jail.

These are LAWYERS? I hate to see what the criminals act like.

What on earth

ShitholeCountry

Send Trump there.

Awesome ! Lawyers !!!

wut

Don't mess with Lawyers. Now they will be disbarred

Mamma should have let them be cowboys.

NoahCRothman Reason number 1,999,999 why I love America.
