A gunman carjacked a D.C. Fire & EMS Ambulance Saturday morning as EMS workers treated a patient in the vehicle, reports WUSA9.

The incident happened at 9 a.m. near Martin Luther King Jr. and Chicago Street, Southeast. The ambulance had responded to a report of an injured person at that location. As EMS personnel treated the patient in the back of the ambulance, the armed carjacker showed them his gun and threatened them, the report says.

The D.C. Fire & EMS personnel and the others exited the ambulance without further harm, and the carjacker drove away in the emergency apparatus.

The ambulance was later recovered. There is a $10,000 reward for anyone providing information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the attacker.

A car slammed into Clyde Fire Department Rescue 11 at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on I-40 late last month.

Officials say the accidents happened around 10:30 a.m. on May 26.

The Clyde rescue truck was blocking the left lane of the accident scene when a vehicle struck it from behind at a high rate of speed, according to information shared by several fire departments on Facebook. They reported the fire truck was pushed about 12 feet by the impact.

No first responders were injured, but the driver of the vehicle was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
