Man attacks paramedic who was trying to help him & calls her a "dirty dy*e"
A man was given community service after he confessed to attacking a paramedic who was trying to help him while shouting anti-gay slurs at her.
Dean Stevens, 28, of Shoreham in southern England collapsed one day this past August. Paramedic Rose Waller showed up to help him and get him to a hospital, the Argus reports.
But instead of gratitude, she got homophobic abuse. Stevens called Waller a “c**t” and a “dirty dy*e,” according to prosecutor Suzanne Soros.
“I’m going to kill you,” he allegedly told her.
