Ambulance Paramedics Threatened At Honeysuckle

BY IAN CROUCH

Two paramedics have been threatened and shoved while trying to treat a man at Honeysuckle.

They were called to Honeysuckle Drive at about 6.30 last night to reports of a man lying unconscious outside a food outlet.

It's alleged when the male paramedics tried to treat him, he became violent and tried to punch one of them before shoving the other backwards.

Police arrested a 29-year-old man at apartment nearby a short time later.

He's been charged with two counts of intimidation and common assault and has been granted bail to face Newcastle Local Court on October 25.

The paramedics were shaken but uninjured.
