Mountain rescue called after 'rude and drunk' walker refused to accept police help
Mountain rescue teams were called upon after a 'heavily intoxicated' man refused to accept help from paramedics and police officers. Volunteers from both Oldham and Rossendale and Pendle mountain rescue teams were called out to assist the emergency services after the man was found injured in Milnrow, Rochdale, on Saturday morning.
The man had refused to be checked over by paramedics or police officers and was being 'rude and abusive' towards them. But he was willing to accept help from the mountain rescuers who stretchered him to a waiting ambulance before being taking to hospital. A spokesperson for the Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team said: "On Saturday morning the team were contacted by North West Ambulance Service to assist with an incident in Milnrow, Rochdale. The team were deployed and began making their way to the location.
"The casualty was refusing to have any observations taken to be provided with pain relief. Fortunately, they were happy to listen to us as 'Mountain Rescue' and very quickly once equipment was on scene, they were placed onto a stretcher and conveyed back up to an awaiting ambulance."
