"He just attacked out of nowhere"

A PATIENT WHO WAS BEING TRANSPORTED by a Chicago Fire Department ambulance Monday morning suddenly went nuts and physically attacked the paramedic who was with him in the back.  Mohamed Natour, 31, had just crashed his car into a utility pole at 3 am and injured his arm along with other parts of his body.

The ambulance was pulling into the loading area at Holy Cross Hospital when Natour inexplicably began pounding on the paramedic with his fists leaving the paramedic with bruises and swelling to his forehead, and abrasions and swelling to his leg.  The driver got help from hospital security guards and together they were able to restrain the man.

Natour has been charged with aggravated battery.

Chicago Sun-Times has the STORY.

    If he didn’t have a head injury before he attacked that medic, he definately had one after words. You ever get hit with a portable O2 tank? Lol j/k. I hope that no one seriously injured though.

    I had a similar incident happen earlier this year. I had a patient who had been shot 2 times both through and through, and had stopped bleeding. He was relatively friendly until we got to the hospital loading dock, and then he sucker punched me struggled with me ripping his IV. He then ran out of the back of the unit and was later apprehended by local PD. 
    Now I get to go to court at the end of the year over it.
