'It was the first and only time I've pressed the panic strip' – Christmas plea by emergency workers after rise in assaults More than 3,000 assaults were committed in the 12 months to June 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of nine per cent.

Assaults on emergency workers are up 9% in the last year. As we approach the festive period we want people to have a good time but ask the public to work #WithUsNotAgainstUs as our people can’t fight for your life if they are fighting for their own. #TeamWAST
