Burnley Today (East Lancashire, England)
A Padiham man has admitted biting a paramedic in the face during a drunken, violent assault.
Stuart David Brown, 28, of Warwick Drive, Padiham, left the paramedic with 4 in. scar on the side of his head, a 3 in. scratch down his back, a scratch on his nose and a pulled groin and also plunged his fingers into the emergency crew worker’s eye.
Burnley Magistrates’ Court heard yesterday that a scuffle took place on Friday after an ambulance was called to Brown’s brother’s home in Norfolk Avenue, Padiham, about 10:25 p.m.
A quick response vehicle arrived and a paramedic, not in uniform, was told a young girl inside — Brown’s niece — needed medical attention. It was claimed that Brown, not realising the man was a paramedic, tried to stop him entering the house, resulting in a fight.
