Chatham (GA) Emergency Services has a stern message for anyone who assaults a member of its crew.
“If you assault EMS personnel, you will be arrested and we will press charges,” said Chuck Kearns, CEO of the Savannah-based not-for-profit fire and EMS agency.
The warning comes after a person was arrested during a pre-St. Patrick’s Day melee which saw a paramedic and two EMTs attacked while on the job, WTOC reported.
Kearns said it happened just before 5 p.m. Thursday after responding to a call about a person passed out in the lobby bathroom of the J.W. Marriott.
Kearns said the person in the bathroom ended up assaulting the three EMS providers. Kearns said the three medical providers were not seriously injured.
The suspect was arrested by police, according to the report. Further details were not released.
