CORFU. The motorcyclist attacked an ambulance crew and spent the weekend in custody.

An ambulance crew was attacked near the New Fortress early on Saturday morning by a motorcyclist as they were attempting to give first aid to his passenger. His motorbike had come off the road and overturned with his passenger suffering minor injuries.

The ambulance was called out and the crew were giving first aid to the injured woman before putting her in the ambulance to take her to the hospital. At that point, according to the ambulance service, the motorcyclist started threatening them.

The crew called the Port Police, who are responsible for the area along the shore in Corfu Town, who gave him a breathalyser test. He was found to be over the limit and was arrested.

His passenger was taken to hospital, where she received treatment. The motorcyclist, a 30-35-year-old Corfu resident, appeared before the Prosecutor on Monday and a trial date was set.
