Woman abuses ambulance crew attending Telford pub incident
An Ambulance crew last night suffered abuse from a woman whilst attending an incident at a public house in Telford during the England match.
The crew was called at 9.30pm to reports of a semi-conscious woman at the Duke of York pub in Market Street in Oakengates.
When the crew arrived to treat the woman, who was in her 20s, their way was blocked by another woman who refused to move and threatened to ‘rip their faces off’.
The crew pressed their emergency buttons and both police and a paramedic officer were dispatched to the scene.
The crew, concerned about the patient, had managed to get to the injured woman and started treating her.
Unfortunately, the woman who abused them quickly left the scene and the police were unable to find her.
The patient had fallen when the second Uruguay goal went in and after treatment at the scene was taken to Princess Royal Hospital.
Assistant Area Manager, Rob Marsh, said: “Whilst we understand people were upset at the result and had apparently had a drink, there is absolutely no excuse for behaviour of this sort.
“The crew were there to help a woman in need of medical assistance. To be verbally abused in this way is absolutely abhorrent. I am sure no-one in the pub would condone such actions and I would appeal to those who were there to help identify the woman so that the police can take action against her.”
