DETROIT — A Detroit EMT who was attacked while responding to a call Tuesday spoke out about the incident for the first time.
ClickOnDetroit.com reported EMT Tyler Ensign was in the back of the ambulance with a patient when a window was shattered.
“I’m in the back and I just heard a loud bang, and the next thing you know I was on the floor and bleeding,” Ensign said.
A relative of the patient had thrown a firefighter’s radio through the window in an attempt to stop the EMTs from taking the woman to the hospital.
“I still can’t believe it. From the distance, in a moving truck, I mean, the Lions could use him. I couldn’t believe it when I found out what it was and what happened,” said Ensign.
Ensign said the incident has not impacted his plans to continue working as an EMT.
“It’s hard to believe, it’s one of those situation where you tell people and they’re like, ‘Are you sure that’s what happened?’” he said.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
