Police warn threats to medical staff will lead to court appearance

Mon, 04 Dec 2017

The police insist those who are threatening towards hospital staff or paramedics will face a court appearance.

The warning comes after a man was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison for being verbally abusive and threatening towards a crew of paramedics who were trying to help him

Following the incident in October he was arrested and later charged with provoking behaviour, before being given a custodial sentence by the courts.

The Isle of Man Constabulary says a robust stance will always be taken against anyone who threatens medical staff at the hospital or paramedics crews.
