Paramedics injured after altercation; suspect in custody

Three paramedics were hurt while responding to a call in the community of Stanley Park Thursday morning.

Calgary police say around 8:30 a.m., a man inside a home at Stanley Road and 39 St. S.W. became aggressive with EMS.

The paramedics were taken to hospital, but were released later in the afternoon.

Police and the Emergency Response Team surrounded the home and tried to talk the suspect out, but they couldn’t or wouldn’t come out.

For more than an hour, officers used a loud hailer to talk to the man, who was believed to be the person EMS had been called to help.

Officers sent a dog and robot camera into the house and eventually went in.

The situation seemed to be resolved at that point, as an ambulance backed up to the house.

Police informed the man over the loud hailer he would be charged with assault. He is now in custody.
