A 43-year-old Brunswick man was
arrested Friday after attacking two Emergency Medical Technicians in an
ambulance. The suspect called an ambulance to his residence in the 2020 block of
J Street, complaining of chest pains, according to the Brunswick police report
released Wednesday.
When the ambulance was transporting
him to the hospital, he asked the EMTs to take him to a liquor store and became
angry when they refused. He allegedly took off his seat belt and attempted to
exit the vehicle.
When the ambulance stopped, the
suspect clenched his fists and acted as if he was going to fight the EMTs.
He was arrested and charged with one
count of simple assault and one count of obstructing EMTS with violence.
