VIDEO: A medic was stabbed early Thursday morning while on an emergency call in North Philadelphia. It happened just after 6:30 a.m. on 22nd near Diamond Street. Two fire service paramedics from Medic 50 picked a man up at 18th and Ridge Avenue and were taking him to Temple University Hospital. One medic was in the back with the patient, while the other medic was driving. The driver said there was a tussle in the back of the ambulance and pulled over near 22nd and Diamond streets. When he opened the door to check on what was going on, the man ran away. That's when he noticed his partner had been stabbed in the right and side of his chest. Officials say the medic may have also been bit. The partner immediately began helping the injured medic and called police for help.
