NEW YORK \u2014 A 37-year-old FDNY emergency medical technician was attacked in the Bronx early Thursday after a rock was hurled at his ambulance, police<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The EMS member was in his marked ambulance approaching the corner of Morris Ave. and McClellan St. in the Concourse section of the Bronx at 6:45 a.m. when someone threw a rock at its passenger-side window, cops said.<\/p>\n

The EMT stopped the vehicle and approached the rock hurler, who then jumped the medic, repeatedly punching him in his head and body.<\/p>\n

Responding police officers took the attacker into custody.<\/p>\n

EMS rushed the EMT to Lincoln Hospital<\/a>, where he was treated for minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Charges against the suspect were pending Thursday.<\/p>\n

A local deli worker identified the attacker as a troublemaking homeless person whom he said had stolen items in the past from the store.<\/p>\n

He said he saw the end of the attack, and watched the beginning of it on the deli\u2019s surveillance video.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I come in (at) 7-something, I saw the guy was on the ground,\u201d the deli worker said. \u201cI saw the video when I come inside the store, and the guy, he jumped the paramedic.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the attacker knocked the EMT to the ground and then kicked him in the torso.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he\u2019s fighting,\u201d the deli worker said. \u201cHe\u2019s got a problem. The guy is a troublemaker around here.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said local merchants were glad the man was arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe needed help,\u201d the deli worker said. \u201cThis person like that is a danger to the street.\u201d<\/p>\n
