A man waiting in traffic because of a wreck, got out of his car and attacked a
paramedic. It was all caught on tape.
You can hear the man cursing at officials on the scene in Oklahoma City.
All of a sudden, he throws a punch at the paramedic's face.
Police and other EMS workers then rush over and tackle the man to the ground.
Officers say the man was upset that an accident had shut down the roadway for
so long.
He is under arrest and could be charged with assaulting a city official and
police officer.

Makes sense to me. He said he wanted those bleep bleeps to “do their jobs.” He’d probably been sitting in traffic forever, and when he got close to the wreck saw the workers just standing around instead of moving things along.

PUNCHING THE GUY IS NOT OK. I’m just saying I understand the frustration.

He must be on something, a man that big should have K.O.ed a guy as small as the paramedic! He looked like he hit like a SISSY!!!!
