A quote from LAS Paramedic Charlotte: "I want to help vulnerable people, to reassure and confirm them. So, when the man I had gone to help grabbed my crotch and pulled his trousers down I couldn't believe it. I was so frightened and scared"

Quote card header reads: 'Violence recorded against UK ambulance staff on course to exceed 20,000 a year' Quote from Daniel Elkeles, LAS Chief Executive: "These shocking figures illustrate the very real threat staff in the ambulance sector face when trying to care for people. Not only is violence devastating for staff who are assaulted, but there is a wider impact on communities when that person needs time off to recover and is away from the front line. It is unacceptable and we will continue to push for prosecutions and strong penalties for those who assault our clinicians."
