EDINBURG, Texas — An ambulance transporting an assault victim to the hospital was repeatedly rammed by the boyfriend who allegedly attacked her, police say.
Medics told Action 4 News when they picked up the patient, her boyfriend demanded to get inside the back of the ambulance but was not allowed.
As she was being transported to the hospital, the man caught up to the ambulance in a sedan and rammed it several times. He then fled before deputies arrived but was later arrested, according to the report.
The ambulance was able to continue the transport and no one was injured.
“It was a frightening experience,” medic Mario Chavez told Action 4 News. “My first thought was to get out of the area. With everything that was happening I knew that I had to leave the area.
“I tried not to cause an accident. I tried to watch out for my safety, the safety of my partner, and my patient. The situation, how it was, was hard to think through. But I did it.”
