A cannabis-using teenager had downed three-quarters of a litre of Vodka before he spat on a paramedic. The behaviour of Oliver Wilson, who is just 18, was described by emergency worker Michael Hoy as "disgusting and vile, especially given the Covid-19 pandemic".
Willson appeared before magistrates in Nottingham over the attack after his mother called an ambulance to their home in Haywood Road, Mapperley, on August 22 this year. His mother was concerned for his welfare after she thought he had taken some drugs and was hallucinating, Nottingham Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday (September 29).
Following this, his mother found him unresponsive on the floor. Paramedics used a technique to wake him which worked.
