We were shocked to hear about a vicious attack on a colleague from North West Ambulance Service who has been left with a fractured skull after being attacked while trying to help a patient.
Like NWAS, we will not tolerate violence against our staff. We will always ask the Courts to hand down the toughest possible sentences in cases such as this. Thankfully, attacks are still relatively rare, but even one attack is one too many.
You can find out more about this appalling incident at:

The good news is that there was an update this afternoon that Lancashire Police have arrested a 19 year old man in connection with the incident.
No need for it you guys do an amazing job helping people and this is what some people do
