Two female emergency medical workers were responding to a call and were alerted by a passer-by that someone was riding on the back bumper of the ambulance, officials said. PhotoThe emergency medical worker in the passenger seat got out first, and then the driver, who went behind the ambulance to confront the man. He started to walk away, but then turned back and went around her to the cab of the ambulance and got into the driver’s seat, officials said. Two lines of emergency medical workers extended from the entrance. Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said the emergency medical worker was the eighth member and third woman of the emergency medical services to die in the line of duty.
