bloody idiots!! iam a first responder and a fully trained member of ther Royal Air Force also i'm 6'4" tall and well built. I wouldn't have gone into the situation on my own/in our fr car despite there being 2 of us in it. saying that though i have been in a similar situation, whilst first responding on 2 seperate situations. the first 1 there was so many coppers there we had to shout to make are selves heard. on the second one i was in an rrv (2 up) following an ambulance into the job "male stabbed" i had specifically phoned control wehn i saw the details of the job and had been reassured that the police were on scene and it was safe to approach. as we got close to the scene there are people all over the road and this forces us to pull up before the job, as we are slowing down i see the paramedic being dragged out of the moving, slowly, ambulance by an angry/hyped up mob of people. i then had to run into this mob of people to ensure that she did not get attacked. it turns out that there was only one cooper on scene at the time. eventually we managed to start extracting the patient (with his throat slit and had just lost his pulse) to the back of the ambulance, on the way we were joined by another crew so at this point there were 7 ambulance personell on scene, despite there being severall coppers standing around know by this point we were still threatened with violence and death to us. as we close the back of the ambulance up trying to sort the patient out, the ambulance is attacked by the mob they even try pulling out the emergency windows of the truck. just for note the paramedic who was dragged out of the ambulance was covered head to toe in the patients blood, not because it was flying allover the place, but because the the "locals" had mobed/attacked her. the trust did right! the question that needs to be asked is where the bloody hell were the coopers???
