VIDEO: A crazed man suspected of being high on opioids reached through the window of an ambulance stopped in traffic to try to continue attacking a paramedic — causing the frightened EMT to jump out of the vehicle and bolt away, shocking video shows.
The two-minute clip, shot late Thursday in the Bronx, shows a man frantically bashing on the side of the ambulance and trying to open the locked door.
He then reaches through a side window to try to unlock the door, prompting the unidentified paramedic to escape out the back and make a run for it, the clip shows.
The ambulance, which was headed to Jacobi Medical Center in Morris Park, had previously picked up the man on a call for an unconscious male.
