A brick was thrown at an on-call ambulance Thursday night, according to reports. (Name withheld by request)A brick thrown at an ambulance while it was en route to a call in St. John's Thursday night shattered its windshield, rattled the paramedics inside, and has the workers' union worried about increasing violence toward the first responders. This could scar them for a number of years, for quite a long time," Gaudet told CBC Radio's St. John's Morning Show Friday. Rodney Gaudet, the president of the Paramedic Association of Newfoundland and Labrador, says paramedics frequently face violence when responding to calls. NAPE president Jerry Earle called the Thursday night incident 'an outright senseless act of violence' toward the paramedics.
