Posted: Jul. 12, 2024 2:38PMPolice from all over the Capital Region responded after a paramedic was assaulted in the 900-block of Pandora Avenue on July 11.
“This particular area of the city, our members do not feel safe, I don’t feel safe, so at this time we’re going to coordinate with the other agencies, and if we enter this area, we’re going to enter it together,” Wilson said in an interview with CHEK News. Del Manak, Victoria’s police chief, says after the paramedic was assaulted, firefighters who were responding to an unrelated call helped the paramedics who were being assaulted and grabbed their sledgehammers and axes to form a wall around the paramedics while he was given medical aid.
“The second part, just as important, if not more important, is that if you’re in the 900 block, you’re now going to receive a delayed medical response when we know seconds could matter.”“First responders are trained to deal with dangerous situations, and, while this one was particularly challenging, our community knows that when police, fire and ambulance services are called, they are there for us, despite the danger.
“He’s suffering from severe multiple brain injuries, and we know he’s not in his right mind, and we called on emergency services numerous times for the last months, trying to get him help, trying to get him assessed, trying to get an MRI on him, taking him into care.”
