Ambulance crews and fire service attacked

AMBULANCE and fire brigade crews have criticised the lack of protection and support they receive following the latest in a spate of attacks on emergency workers.

Two Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) ambulance workers from Donnybrook station needed hospital treatment following an unprovoked attack as they attended to an injured couple in Dublin’s Stephen’s Green on Wednesday evening.

Gardaí investigating the incident arrested two men who were later released without charge.
