The incident occurred late on Friday night and was captured on CCTV camera. The video of the incident later went viral on social media.
The pickup driver also damaged an ambulance and five bikes which were stationed outside the hospital premises including the hospital's medical store. An FIR in this regard was filed on Saturday.
The accused driver was identified as Vikas Joon of Dhankot village in Gurugram.
Balwan Singh, the director of Shri Balaji Hospital located at Basai Chowk, told the police that on Friday night, two women and two men came to his hospital due to some injuries. He assumed that the cause behind the injuries was fighting between the two groups.
"When the injured were undergoing treatment inside the hospital two of their family members were talking to someone standing outside the hospital. Shortly thereafter, a speeding pickup vehicle driver came and tried to crush the family members of the injured standing outside the hospital but they luckily escaped unhurt and ran inside to save themselves," Singh told the police.
At this, the pickup driver turned the vehicle back and rammed the vehicle of the hospital and a medical store and attempted to drive the pickup truck inside the hospital premises.
The driver reportedly tried to force the vehicle inside the hospital premises about 8 times.
"The entire incident was captured on CCTV camera installed at the incident spot. The actual reason behind the incident will be known once the accused driver will be arrested but it seems there were some domestic issues between the two groups. A case of negligent driving and various other sections of the IPC were registered against the driver at Sector-9A police station," said station house officer (SHO), Bijender Singh.
