NEW YORK — Video posted online appears to show a Suffolk County EMS officer in a confrontation with a WNBC cameraman in Bohemia, N.Y.

The cameraman was filming the aftermath of a chemical spill inside a commercial building that unleashed fumes, according to text posted beneath the video.

The video, which was posted last week, shows the Suffolk County EMS officer trying to rip the camera out of the cameraman’s hands. The posting said the camera was damaged in the altercation.

Earlier this summer, a reporter’s clash with an ambulance crew member was captured on camera at the scene of a house fire in Courderspot, Pa.
