Wales, UK -- An ambulance man has described how he was chased and attacked with a carving knife while on a call-out.
The 35-year-old, from Bargoed in Caerphilly county says he has had four months off work this year because of two assaults while doing his job.
He spoke as a Welsh MP's bill giving greater protection to emergency workers gets closer to becoming law.
A 52-year-old female paramedic from Cardiff, also described how she was punched in the chest when she tried to stop a man stealing an ambulance from the station.
"We've had plenty of violent attacks on staff and we tend not to even bother reporting the verbal abuse and foul language," she said.
