Pseudo-Paramedic Terrorizes English Town
A MAN DESCRIBED AS A “CRAZED MANIAC” in Slough, England, has been chasing bicyclists with his car and threatening them with bodily harm.
The poseur has applied official “Ambulance” decals on his personal car and installed a flashing blue light in the windshield. Several people have said that he comes dangerously close to hitting them and then threatens them.
One such victim described his experience:
“When I turned around to see who nearly knocked me down, I was shocked to see an ambulance car with blue flashing lights. I first thought he must have been rushing to an emergency so I didn’t think any of it. But then he stated fing and blinding and sticking his fingers up at me. I noticed he wasn’t in uniform and knew something was wrong as that’s not normal behaviour for a paramedic.”
When Mr Pritchard, of London Road, Langley, questioned the man’s reaction, the fake paramedic allegedly began chasing him down the road.
He added: “He was driving like a crazed maniac and mounted the kerb several times and tried to knock me off my bike. He also yelled he was going to squash and kill me. It’s only because I’m quick that I managed to get away.”
The police are investigating the situation.
