A Belfast man, who attacked two paramedics who took him to hospital, has been jailed for five months. Andrew William Stewart hit one crew member in the face and kicked out at another, and spat over their ambulance. The 53-year-old, of Woodstock Road, pleaded guilty to two assaults on ambulance workers and a further charge of criminal damage to the vehicle.As one of the paramedics leaned over to check on Stewart, he hit him in the eye with his hand.
Stewart also kicked out at another paramedic when they stopped at the hospital's ambulance dock. 'He also spat several times in the back of the ambulance, which had to be deep cleaned as a result,' a Crown lawyer added. He told Belfast Magistrates' Court his client was knocked down in an RTC and then discharged from hospital before being found unconscious in the street.The judge told Stewart: 'People are waiting hours for ambulances without people spitting all over them (and taking them out of circulation). 'It could have been a lot worse. I could have given you up to two years for the criminal damage and I was sorely tempted.
