An 'abhorrent' lout who assaulted and abused paramedics as they tried to help him has been jailed.
Ross Fyfe was given a criminal behaviour order on January 20 this year after punching a paramedic in the stomach. The terms of the order include a prohibition on him acting in an anti-social manner, including to members of the emergency services.
At 1am on January 31, paramedics attended his home in Blyth, Northumberland, after receiving a report of him being in pain. Omar Ahmad, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court: "One of the paramedics had dealt with him multiple times before. He was made aware that on the 999 call he had been aggressive on the phone."
