A woman has been arrested on suspicion of public order offences after an abusive note to ‘move your van’ was left on an ambulance attending a 999 call.

The foul-mouthed letter, posted after paramedics parked in a residents’ parking bay, read: ‘If this van is for anyone but No.14 then you have no right to park here.

‘I couldn’t give a shit if the whole street collapses. Now move your van from outside my house.’

Police arrested the 26-year-old woman after paramedic Katie Tudor tweeted a photo of the handwritten note alongside the caption: ‘So upset to be sent this by one of our crews this morning!’




‘Along with this note left on their ambulance, they received a load of verbal abuse!’

She later added: ‘They weren’t blocking the road, they were in a parking space… just obviously annoying someone that an ambo was outside their property.’

West Midlands Ambulance Service were responding to an emergency call-out in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, at the time.

Katie, who is based in Stoke-on-Trent, then went on to ask Staffordshire Police’s Twitter account: ‘Is there anything that can be done about this? It’s becoming a regular occurrence’.

Chief Inspector John Owen this morning tweeted: ‘We have arrested a 26-year-old female for public order offences.

Paramedic operational manager Mike Duggan also shared the image of the note online and said: ‘People seem to have not respect for the work we’re doing or the fact we’re helping someone.

‘We don’t block roads for the sake of it.

Last November, paramedics were told to move their ambulance as they treated a heart attack patient in Dudley.

The same month, another note was left on the windscreen of an ambulance in Small Heath, Birmingham, which read: ‘You may be saving lives but don’t park your van in a stupid place and block my drive’.

Teaching assistant Hassan Shabbir Ali, 27, later apologised for writing the note ‘in the heat of the moment’.
