{If you read the Rant noted below – you will never call NYPD in Brooklyn for “help.”}
A second EMT involved says the patient was in “handcuffs and foot shackles” during the beating, and was repeatedly thrown to the ground, sustaining “injuries to face and head.” According to the report, police only stopped assaulting the handcuffed man when the EMTs physically intervened.
An FDNY spokesman did not respond to our request for comment, but the NYPD says Internal Affairs is investigating. (Update: In an email, FDNY spokesman Frank Dwyer says simply, “FDNY responded to the 67pct stationhouse on July 20 to treat and transport a patient to the hospital.”) For more, we turn to ever-reliable cop message board NYPD Rant, where the discussion begins with, “Screw these two EMTs….this EDP was assaulting UMOS, spraying bodily fluids on them, and they lodge complaints against the officers…FU EMS.”
