WILLIAMSBURG, N.Y. — A volunteer paramedic and his teenage son were tied up and robbed Friday morning by a gunman who then sped away with the medic’s emergency vehicle.
The medic — of Hatzolah Volunteer Ambulance Squad of Williamsburg — and his 17-year-old son were working in a factory when the suspect walked in holding a gun, according to DNAinfo.
He tied up the pair before taking cash and driving off in the medic’s emergency vehicle in Williamsburg, authorities said.
Police later found the medic’s Chevrolet Malibu sedan beneath the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in Brooklyn. The suspect has not been caught.
“We’re just happy they’re OK,” a Hatzolah member told DNAinfo. “To us, life is more important than anything. We don’t care as long as they’re OK. Now it’s in the hands of the police.”
