Police are looking for a cyclist who leaned into an ambulance's window and spat in a paramedic's face before cycling away without saying anything. The paramedic was driving the emergency vehicle on Croydon Street in Bristol during the lockdown in May when the cyclist spat at the NHS worker. And SWASFT is working with Avon and Somerset Police to appeal for help from the public to find the cyclist. 'Nobody should have to face this kind of disgusting behaviour, especially not a healthcare professional working tirelessly during a global health pandemic. It reminds people that assaults of this nature are unacceptable, and are a crime under the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018.
