It’s one thing to try and help someone who shows no gratitude but it’s quite another when the person being helped becomes hostile.
A Bangor man is facing charges after police say he assaulted an emergency medical services worker while being transported to a hospital.
Bangor police and rescue crews were called to Davenport Park shortly before 5 p.m. Monday for a reported incident involving 36-year-old Perry Newell, according to Bangor Police Department spokesperson Katy England.
During the transport, Newell allegedly kicked an EMS crew member in the head, causing an injury.
Newell was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released. England said Newell was already subject to 17 sets of bail conditions.
Police later located and arrested him.
Newell is charged with assault on an emergency medical services person and violation of conditions of release.
