Fines and jail time for those who attack our emergency services

Petition Details

A couple of teenagers faked a hear attack call and got the ambulance crew out and hurled bricks and heavy objects at the emergency crew both wasting time and importantly putting the crew and other actual patients at risk. These were children who did this, so I propose the parents to pay the fine

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Parliament is already considering changing the law on this issue, so we're not sure exactly what further action you'd like to see.

The Government supports the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Bill. The Bill plans to introduce a new offence of attacking an emergency worker while they are doing their job and increase the maximum sentence.
