If you thought it was bad enough that a California Highway Patrol officer put handcuffs on a firefighter at a crash scene, check this story out from the same state.
There was a dispute Wednesday afternoon between a parking enforcement officer in San Diego and a paramedic with Rural Metro over how the ambulance was parked. Rural Metro is contracted to provide EMS for the city and according to news reports the medic said he was assisting someone when the incident occurred. This battle turned into wrestling match right in front of the public.
KGTV:
“I heard the screaming and I turned to look at what happened,” said (witness Lourdes) Martinez. “Everything was fast.”
Moments later, the men took their argument inside the 7-Eleven.
A 10News viewer called the station to say his roommate watched inside as the incident unfolded. He says the two men argued and then the paramedic put the parking officer into a headlock. Once he released him from the headlock, the parking officer punched the paramedic in the face.
About 90 minutes later, both men drove off in their respective vehicles. There is no word if they will be reprimanded.
