A lowlife thug who brutally battered a paramedic who had gone to help him before smashing up an ambulance has been jailed for two years. Henry Grain, 20, left emergency worker Steve Raven with a broken jaw after punching him in the face outside a bar in Leominster, Herefordshire.
He has now become the first person to be convicted as a result of body-worn camera footage worn by staff at Britain's second biggest ambulance service. A court heard paramedics were called to Shooters Bar on March 4 last year to reports of an unresponsive pub-goer inside.
But when medics tried to help Grain he responded violently - punching Steve in the face and proceeding to damage an ambulance window. He also broke one of the ambulance door hinges, taking the vehicle off the road for repairs, before police arrived at the scene.
