Description

As if we don't have enough sh*t to deal with! A man who had grown tired of waiting for a local road to reopen because of a serious wreck got out of his car, stripped off his shirt and then attacked a paramedic on Thursday, and an Eyewitness News 5 photojournalist caught it on tape. "I kind of glanced to see where I could see him take a step. I kind of had him in my vision, and as soon as I moved, I thought maybe I shouldn't have moved. I glanced over to see him take a swing at me," said EMSA paramedic Jason Duncan. He said he's sore but will be OK. Police said they believe the man got upset because roads near Britton Road and Midwest Boulevard were closed. They believe he had just tired of waiting for them to reopen. Officers and paramedics worked to get the man to the ground. Even there, the man screamed at officers saying they were going to have to kill him.
