00:00Well, this is a story that's pretty crazy.
00:08A driver got stuck in their car behind a Detroit ambulance and were dragged for two miles.
00:16But it turns out that driver rammed the ambulance on purpose, but then got stuck behind it.
00:24Here's the story of why this happened now from WDIV-TV.
00:28We're south of 8 Mile. We've got a car that is continuously hitting us from the rear.
00:35In their own words.
00:36At St. Albans heading southbound.
00:39This Detroit EMS rescue team driving medic number 15 describing their chaotic drive Monday morning
00:46with a car ramming, jamming and slamming them from behind.
00:51They are continuously pushing us right now.
00:53This happening on the city's east side.
00:55We're still south on Coney. We just passed 7 Mile now.
00:59That crew not stopping. They're trying to get away from this driver dispatch, urging that crew to somehow
01:06respond to the 11th precinct.
01:08Get to the 11th precinct.
01:10Driving like this for more than two miles, it became evident that the car was stuck on the back of that ambulance.
01:17We left the precinct, though. We're coming in hot.
01:20I don't know if they're attached to our bumper or not, but they keep pushing us.
01:22We're pulling up. Medic 15, your exact location.
01:25We're out front. We can't turn in the driveway here.
01:27The car is just behind us on the back side.
01:30The wall is turning in. Medic 15 is coming outside.
01:34Yeah, we see them coming out now.
01:36So that's what you have to do now.
01:37You have to just drive right to the police station.
01:40It's happening all the way up this way towards the 11th precinct. Officers coming out this way to help.
01:45If you noticed the window, driver's side window of that Jeep that was on the ambulance was smashed out.
01:50That's because officers, police officers, had to smash that out to get to the driver.
01:55This, we've learned, is a mental health emergency.
01:58Those officers were able to get the driver to the hospital.
02:01He is apparently going to be okay.
02:03The medics are okay.
02:04But Kimberly and Karen, medics that see everything on the streets here, were perplexed.
02:08They haven't seen something like this.
02:10Scary thing to go through.
02:12Yeah.
02:12You wonder why someone is ramming you in your ambulance.
02:15This guy was calm about it.
02:16He's like, yeah, he's ramming us right now.
02:18He was really calm.
02:20Everyone.
02:21Yeah.
02:21And the cops seemingly didn't even care.
02:25They're like, oh, hell, where are you at?
02:28Oh, man.
02:29Oh.
02:31So he's ramming you?
02:33He's like, basically, almost maybe possibly stuck to you.
02:38You're super chill.
02:40We're, you're a seven mile.
02:42Oh.
02:44Yeah.
02:44He keeps hitting the gas on us.
02:48What's going on right now?
02:50Yeah, it's happening.
02:52It's happening right now.
02:54It's, uh, guys like crazy or something.
02:56That sounds really scary.
02:58Yeah, it is.
02:58It's horrifying.
03:00It's a real scary thing.
03:01Oh, well.
03:02He was ramming into us on the road, and then, um, he kind of, he's either attached to us
03:07and has crashed into us.
03:08Uh-huh.
03:09Uh-huh.
03:10Uh-huh.
03:10Uh-huh.
03:11Uh-huh.
03:11Uh-huh.
03:12Uh-huh.
03:12Well...
03:12You can hear him right now.
03:13He's revving up his head.
03:14Yeah, I think I heard it.
03:15Uh, any chance you could just swing by the station?
03:20We could just come outside for a second.
03:22Swing by the, like, the 11th precinct.
03:24Oh, man.
03:25You hear him back there?
03:26Yeah, I see.
03:26I heard something, bro.
03:27Yeah, he's up.
03:29I'm not too concerned about it.
03:31It's getting pretty wild here.
03:33I suppose we could pull into the police station.
03:35Just try to get as close as possible so we could just, like, maybe see it from the window.
03:39Yeah, I mean, we're going to have trouble.
03:41We'll probably look out the window for whatever's going on.
03:46We'll probably, uh, go around the block.
03:49We'll probably do that.
03:50I think we're going to have some trouble pulling into the parking lot with this guy attached to our bumper.
03:55Oh, really?
03:55You don't?
03:56You probably can't pull in?
03:58I mean, we'll try.
03:59Let's go around again.
04:00Because, you know, you could park, like, right in front of the door so we don't have to walk.
04:05Yeah, this guy is going absolutely crazy right now.
04:07Oh, man.
04:08Oh, I see the cops right now.
04:10Oh, fine.
04:11I'll get a couple guys to get up.
04:13You guys mind getting up?
04:16You guys mind going to check this out?
04:19I don't know.
04:20Crazy guy stuck to a bumper.
04:23They're driving right to us.
04:27All right.
04:28I got two guys.
04:29They're going to put their food down right now.
04:31They're going to come outside and see what's going on.
04:33Very cool.
04:35I'll see you in a bit.
04:36That's how that whole thing went.
04:39Yeah, absolutely.
04:39Not the urgency I thought that would have been.
04:42Can you get any closer?
04:43Yeah.
04:43I think I said that.
04:44Yeah.
04:44No, we can't.
04:47Like, that's wild.
04:48But I'm glad they finally, when they got outside in their front yard, they realized, yeah, we should smash this window out and grab this guy.
04:58Yeah, for sure.
04:58So...
04:59And then we go.
