In Home and Away, Xander (Luke Van Os) and his colleague Jamie (Hugo Liu) are called out to an accident in remote bushland.

Thereโ€™s seemingly no-one around and the home appears abandoned.

However, the young paramedics are soon greeted by a man who claims to have phoned for helpโ€ฆ then things take an ominous turn when three men approach them from behind.

Paramedics Xander and Jamie walk into a trap.

โ€Xander asks the man to lead them to the patient, but is ambushed by three men wielding bats,โ€ Luke tells TV WEEK.

โ€They donโ€™t stand a chance.โ€

The men then raid the ambulance for drugs before taking off.

Severely beaten and injured, Xander calls his sister Rose (Kirsty Marillier) for help.

But Xander isnโ€™t listening as he wallows in grief. Itโ€™s been a tough few months for him as heโ€™s struggled to handle the stress of the job.

โ€Xander loves helping people and, as a paramedic, you get to be everyoneโ€™s hero, but that obviously comes with its pitfalls,โ€ Luke says.

โ€He definitely loves what he does, but itโ€™s growing more challenging for him.โ€

Will this news put him over the edge?
