HAMILTON, OH (FOX19)- Police have arrested a man who is accused of assaulted two Hamilton Police officers and a paramedic.
Just before 9 a.m., police and fire units were called to the 1000 block of Heaton Street for a report of an incoherent 46-year-old man.
Upon arrival, the patient was being treated by Hamilton Fire Department Paramedics and when the person was administered a drug to counteract a possible drug reaction, the person regained consciousness, became combative and attempted to choke a fire department paramedic.
Police officers who were at the scene intervened to protect the paramedic and the subject turned his attention to the officers, and began assaulting them.
While attempting to get the person under control, Police Officer David Patterson was pushed down a flight of steps and received non-life threatening injuries.
