EDMONTON, Canada — A man stole an ambulance from Edmonton paramedics, threw on an EMS jacket and led police on a marathon chase across western Alberta on Sunday evening.

RCMP officers finally pulled the ambulance off the road in the Jasper area about 10 p.m., following a four-hour pursuit from the city centre.

The ambulance was stolen around 6 p.m., after paramedics apparently stepped away from the rig while responding to an address near downtown Edmonton.
