"25 year old male, stabbed in arm, bottled, bleeding heavily"
"Red base, are the police running on this, obviously we won't approach until they on scene, over"
"Roger, police have been requested, stay back until they arrive"
"Roger, will do, let us know when they are on scene, over"
"Roger, Red base out"

"Red base, any ETA for the police? Over"
"Standby one..........Roger, police are on scene and the road is lit up like a Christmas tree, over"
"Rog"
We'd parked a few streets away so trundled round to the road. It was a dog-leg cul-de-sac, as we got near to the end we could see a very large group of people outside the house. I saw a number of vehicles following me into the road so assumed it was more police. It wasn't. In fact, there were no police on scene whatsoever. About 10 people surrounded the ambulance all shouting various different things. Then I heard:
"One of them stabbed him and the other pulled out a gun"
Gulp! We were now blocked in, we were expected by all around us to get out and help their friend yet there was quite a possibility someone was still on scene with a gun. This in a occasion I deemed worthy of the emergency button.
"Red base, red base, there are no police on scene and the attacker is still here with a knife and gun, we are blocked in the road, urgent police, I repeat urgent police"
"Are you safe? Are you in your vehicle, police on way"
"Rog, we are still in the truck but are surrounded by people wanting our help with the patient"
"Police ETA 1 minute, stand by"

"Sorry guys, that message was meant for another crew!"
That snippet was sent down the MDT. Bloody cheek! I didn't appreciate the exclamation mark on the end for starters. I didn't find it funny. We'd It was far to soon to be cracking gags as far as I was concerned. I was told it was safe to approach and it wasn't. What kind of idiots turn up to gun fight with a number 3 dressing and an OP airway?! The LAS! Luckily we'll be putting this one down as a near miss!
