Two city emergency medical technicians were hospitalized after they were attacked by an emotionally disturbed Bronx man they were trying to render care to, police said.
The EMTs were dispatched to an apartment on the seventh floor of a building on Sedgwick Ave. near West Burnside Ave. in Morris Heights just after 10 p.m. Thursday when the suspect attacked them in the hallway, cops said.
One EMT, 32, suffered a deep laceration to his head, cops said. A second EMS staffer, 20, suffered injuries to his face during the assault.
Both were taken to area hospitals where they were treated for minor injuries.
Two other EMTs were also hurt, according to WABC Eyewitness News, but police could not immediately confirm the report.
Cleanup crews could be seen clearing pieces of broken glass on the floor on Thursday night. Blood was also found on the hallway floor and walls, according to Eyewitness News.
Cops took the 22-year-old attacker into custody. Charges were pending.
