A patient who threw bricks at paramedics and smashed an ambulance has avoided a prison sentence.

Seiitbek Erkin Uulu attacked the medical crew after it came to his assistance last summer at a housing estate in Rotherhithe, East London.

Paramedics Harvey Jenkins and  Tom Pursey were both about to drive off when Uulu jumped on the bonnet and kicked his leg through the windscreen.
