Ambulance officers are calling for the violence to stop as new figures show an ambo is assaulted every three days in WA.

Our drug and alcohol culture plays a big part in the violence on St Johns Ambulance officers, but a spokesperson called out the excuse.

“It doesn’t give you an excuse to assault my people.”
