PATIENTS who attack paramedics could be hit with ASBOs or sued by the ambulance service.

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust (SECAMB) is adopting what it calls a "zero-tolerance" policy against those who abuse its emergency workers.

It is encouraging paramedics to report violent incidents to the police - but has also not ruled out taking its own action against attackers.

In my area, assaulting a healthcare worker (on the job) is a felony... mandatory jail time
