Attacks and theft attempts continue to plague an already beleaguered Seattle Fire Department.

Seattle Police arrested a 60-year-old man on Tuesday for felony assault and malicious mischief after he threw a brick at a Seattle Fire Department truck.
 
Shortly after 12:00 pm, dispatch received multiple reports of a man who threw a brick at the SFD Medic 18 truck near the intersection of North 45th Street and Bagley Avenue North in the Wallingford neighborhood.

When officers arrived, they learned SFD paramedics were inside the truck and were driving with lights and sirens to a medical aid call. None of the paramedics were injured. The truck had significant damage to the windshield. In July, there were 21 vehicles hit by rocks or other objects while on a nearby freeway interchange where there is a chronic drug encampment.


Officers located the suspect nearby the incident and took him into custody and he was booked into King County Jail.
