Being the primary source of information & news for members and supporters of the emergency services, we hear about these sorts of stories way too often.

Many of our readers will know how passionate we are about stamping out violence directed towards our emergency services, HMP and NHS colleagues.

So when we heard about an incident involving someone intentionally driving their vehicle at an on-duty paramedic, our blood started to boil.

A post published on Blackpool Polices’ Facebook page stated: 

“We are appealing for any witnesses in relation to an incident where a vehicle was driven towards an on duty paramedic.

Fortunately the paramedic managed to move out of the way however in doing so sustained a minor injury to their ankle.

The incident occurred on Bournemouth Road in Blackpool on Saturday 17th March 2018 at 09:10pm.

The vehicle is described as a silver 4×4 Toyota possibly being a newer model.

The driver is described as a white male and approximately 60 years old.

We would appreciate if anyone with any information or the driver themselves contact either PC 5996 Moore or PC 6857 Morris on the following email addresses; 6857@lancashire.pnn.police.uk or 5996@lancashire.pnn.police.uk.

Alternatively you can ring Blackpool Police on 101 quoting log number LC-20180317-1339 or anonymously crimestoppers on 0800555111. Thank you.”

Please share this article with as many people as you can – someone will know who the individual behind the wheel was, and someone, with a conscience, will share that information with our Police colleagues.

COMMENT

Yet again, we hear of another targeted attack aimed squarely at the men and women who put their lives on the line on a daily basis in order to try and keep us all safe. 

We have been calling for a zero tolerance approach to ANYONE found guilty of assaulting our emergency services, HMP & NHS colleagues. 

And whilst social media has been taking a bit of a bashing recently, we all know that social media has the power to find the despicable individuals who try to hide in the shadows.

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.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
