Ambulance crew stabbed in Wolverhampton

Murray MacGregor – Monday 6th July 2020 – 1.35pm.

Two members of ambulance service staff have been stabbed after attending a call out to check on the welfare of a man in Wolverhampton.

The initial call came through at around 12.15pm this lunchtime to an address in Stephens Close.

Shortly after arrival, the crew used their emergency alert to say that they had been stabbed.

Three additional ambulances, two Midlands Air Ambulances and the West Midlands Care Team attended the scene along with three paramedic officers.

The two members of staff, both paramedics, have been treated at the scene by doctors and paramedics and have been taken to hospital for further treatment.

A man who was tasered by police officers at the scene has also been treated by ambulance staff.

More details will be released later.

  4. Shame the purpotrators were only tasered, given the severity of the crime they should have been shot.

  5. Absolutely disgusted. Hope the crew are ok. There is just no excuse for this kind of behaviour towards paramedics, police or indeed anyone trying to do their job. Hope the person responsible gets a long sentence !

  6. Disgusting to think these two people went to work today to save peoples lives and end that day needing to be saved their selves.
    Let’s hope the person responsible faces the full force of the law for assault on an emergency worker x2.
    Emergency services lives matter!!!!!!
    Best wishes to both crew and families

  10. Until the full facts are disclosed possible mental issues can’t really pass an opinion, however if this was through other causes I sincerely hope that the legal people hit him with the harshest the law will allow and not pussy foot around if he had” too much orange juice as a child ” we must protect these good people and all people serving the Public .
