Paramedics in
An emergency ambulance accompanied by a rapid response vehicle had been called to a residential address in order to give life-saving medical aid to a patient.
But a group of males took exception to where the life-savers had parked their vehicles in order to save someones life.
A tweet published on the @LAS_NorthWest twitter page said:
‘Our ambulance & fast response car had to block a
‘We were responding to the highest category patient we have, with no parking.
‘We were subjected to shouts & called “brain dead idiots” by 6-7 grown men… while literally carrying our patient out’.
Followers were quick to stick up for the crew:
The mindless actions of the males who hurled the verbal abuse at the medics clearly does not represent the views of the vast majority of the general public, as shown by the support of the general public in more of the comments which were left on the original tweet:

Before you go...
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.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
