The incident occurred on October 7 this year, at around 2:00 p.m. Legnica police officers were notified of an incident that took place in a parking area by the A4 motorway. – The findings indicate that paramedics from the Emergency Medical Service in Legnica were instructed to attend to a passenger on a bus travelling to Berlin. The 26-year-old Ukrainian citizen was behaving aggressively, grabbing and kicking the drivers, and was therefore removed from the vehicle – explains aspirant Anna Tersa from the Legnica Municipal Police Headquarters. – She was sitting on the grass at the scene and shouting; her behaviour was irrational.
The paramedics invited the woman into the ambulance to provide her with assistance. At first she behaved calmly, but after a while – for no reason whatsoever – she attacked the paramedics who were helping her. She hit them on the body, kicked, scratched and verbally abused them, using vulgar language.
During the struggle, the woman destroyed glasses belonging to one of the paramedics. The spokesperson: – She also urinated on the floor of the ambulance. Due to the woman’s renewed aggression, the paramedics called a police patrol to the scene.
The officers arrested the 26-year-old woman. A strong smell of alcohol was noticeable on her, and there was a possibility that she was under the influence of drugs. She was then taken to the Emergency Department of the hospital in Legnica. There, under police guard, she underwent examinations and in the evening – with the doctor’s consent – was placed in police custody.
What happens next?
Aspirant A. Tersa:
Today, police officers will carry out further procedural activities with the woman, after which she will be brought before the court under expedited proceedings. She will face charges of violating the bodily integrity and insulting public officials, as well as damaging property. The court will decide her further fate.
Attention! Like police officers and firefighters, paramedics are public officials when performing their professional duties, and they have the same legal protection as police officers. Violating the bodily integrity of a public official is punishable by up to 3 years in prison.
