A female paramedic has been taken to hospital after being kicked unconscious by a burglar breaking into a St John ambulance station north of Auckland. The woman had just returned alone to the Warkworth ambulance station on Brown Rd at about 11.30pm last night after finishing treating a patient. St John director of operations Norma Lane said the intruder then attacked her and kicked her unconscious. “The paramedic was able to signal for St John Clinical Communications and police support before being rendered unconscious,” Lane said. She was taken to North Shore hospital in a moderate condition before being discharged this morning. “This is a despicable and unacceptable act on our colleague,” Lane said.
