CHICAGO — A man was sentenced to six years in prison after he bit a paramedic and injured a firefighter in 2014.
Pinder received a six-year sentence and a five-year one on two felony charges for aggravated assault. He will serve the two sentences concurrently.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported paramedics and firefighters responded to a call for a person down. When they attempted to put the man, Brandon Pinder, onto a stretcher, the man bit paramedic Kelly Begley in the calf.
Pinder, 27, also jumped on the back of a Chicago Fire Department lieutenant, injuring his shoulder.
Begley and the firefighter were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
