An on-duty Chicago Fire Department ambulance crew was robbed while responding to a call in Auburn Gresham overnight. The paramedics managed to overpower the robber and hold him until police arrived.
Ambulance 24 responded to a call about a person with respiratory problems in the 7900 block of South Throop around 1:45 a.m. After they arrived, a man approached the ambulance team, implied he had a weapon, and took cash from the victims, according to CPD.
The fire department team overpowered the robber and quickly jumped on the radio to declare a “10-1” emergency, bringing extra fire department and police resources to the scene. Here’s what it sounded like on the fire department’s radio network:
