An emergency ambulance belonging to the London Ambulance Service (LAS) was attacked as its crew treated a female patient who was not breathing.

The incident happened this afternoon (18th November) in Streatham. Life-saving paramedics had been called to an address after receiving reports that a female at the location was not breathing.

Whilst the crew tried to save the female’s life, a male took exception to the manner in which the crew had parked the emergency ambulance as they rushed to unconscious female’s aid.

The male then took it upon himself to try and smash the windows of the ambulance.

Metropolitan Police officers from Lambeth (E Relief) rushed to the scene and detained and arrested the male who continued to be abusive towards members of the emergency services. 

It is not known if the male managed to damage the ambulance, requiring it to be withdrawn from service. 

The condition of the female who was being treated by the medics is not known. Lambeth MPS tweeted:

“LAS were attending an address in Streatham this afternoon to a female not breathing.

“A male took umbrage to their emergency parking and tried to smash the ambulance windows.

“E Relief officers swiftly detained and arrested the abusive male.

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
