VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — First responders were “pushed and kicked” Monday night while trying to save the life of a motorcyclist, officials say.
When Virginia Beach Fire and EMS employees arrived shortly before 9 p.m., “an unruly crowd gathered and rapidly grew in size and out of control, surrounding the scene…,” according to a Virginia Beach Fire Department report.
As firefighters tried to treat the man involved in the crash, several were “pushed and kicked” the report said. The victim ultimately died from his injuries on the way to the hospital, according to Virginia Beach Police.
According to the report, some people from the crash scene followed an ambulance to the hospital and began to “jump on, kick and hit multiple EMS vehicles causing damage.”
“The emergency room was placed on a temporary lockdown as a proactive measure to ensure everyone’s safety” Sentara spokesperson Lauren Patton wrote in an email. The lockdown ended “without incident.” Patton said she wouldn’t elaborate further due to patient privacy.

Did anyone call a social worker? /sarc
It’s like Somalia.

First responders ‘pushed and kicked’ at scene...

Not first responders were pushed and kicked ...
The media is getting worse if that’s possible
Some sort of internecine dispute that caused the crash. A mob that wanted to finish off the injured party. They got their wish.
No video.
Curious.
Time for live rounds to protect those heroes.
I’ll give you something even more amazing. Not one video on Twitter or TikTok about this. Nobody from the hood is crowing about this, no one had their cellphones with them, no one saw anything.
In this digital day and age, that qualifies as a full scale miracle.
When I was involved with EMS some areas were never gone to with out LEO present.
One gets the sense that there is a tremendous amount of information missing from this story.
Same as those crotch rocket idiots in Manhattan several years ago that owned the expressway and chased down anyone naive enough to go that way.
Even saw one on the Woodrow Wilson bridge this morning. Came through the jam doing about 100 MPH, engine screaming like a blender about to die.
They ruined Myrtle Beach with their Black Bike Week.
Some merchants close up for the week want nothing to do with the animals
I vaguely recall that incident. Did they attack somebody in a Range Rover with kids in the car?
Yep, chased the SUV down, smashed out the window and drug the driver out to beat on him.
The ringleader of the motorcycle “group” was an off duty policeman who was also the one who broke the window and dragged out the driver.
Stupid does as stupid is.
Murder.
