Northern Ireland ambulance workers have started using body-worn cameras in a bid to reduce violent attacks.
A small number of staff are trialling the devices, similar to those used by the PSNI, against a backdrop of rising physical and verbal attacks.
The trial, involving an ambulance station in East Belfast, comes after crews have in the last five years been attacked with weapons including a tomahawk hatchet, knuckle-duster, snooker balls, carpet knife and many more weapons, according to the NIAS.
