A HEAVY drinker hurled abuse at paramedics and threw punches inside an ambulance during a foul-mouthed confrontation, Grimsby magistrates heard.

Philip Ross, 32, of Walkers Way, Ulceby, admitted being drunk and disorderly on February 16.

Brendan Woodward, prosecuting, said an ambulance crew was alerted after Ross was spotted apparently suffering problems on a pavement in Healing, near Grimsby.

There were concerns about his welfare after he deliberately banged his head on the pavement, causing an injury, he said.

He claimed he had taken ecstasy tablets.

The ambulance crew decided to take him to the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital but, during the journey, Ross grabbed one of the paramedics on his arm and was abusive while he was inside the ambulance.

He punched out at the inside of the ambulance, causing no damage, and was not violent to paramedics but the crew decided they could not take him any further.

Ross told the court: "I ended up drinking again but I am seeking the right help."

Father-of-three Ross was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £85 costs and a Government- imposed £15 victims' surcharge.
