A Maryland man is facing charges after police say he attacked private EMS providers and then lead them on a 20-mile chase.
Montgomery County police say Nicholas Albano was being transported in the ambulance around 2:40 a.m. on Friday when he attacked one of the providers, according to NBC Washington. When the EMS provider driving the ambulance got up to help his coworker, the 31-year-old Albano jumped into the driver’s seat, police said.
