L.I. EMT attacked in Lynbrook house that called for ambulance

A Lynbrook man is in custody this morning after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting an Emergency Medical Technician responding to a 9-1-1 call for an ambulance.

Lynbrook police officers arrested Aoun Ali, 24, at a house on Piccadilly Downs late last night just before midnight.

Nassau County Police Department said in a public statement that they received a 9-1-1 call from a Lynbrook residence requesting an ambulance to transport a man for emergency medical treatment.

Police said that when the ambulance arrived, Ali became agitated and "combative" and started to fight with the ambulance worker. They said he head-butted an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician when he was approached for evaluation.
