An air ambulance paramedic has warned laser pen attacks on its helicopter pilots could result in 'catastrophe'.
Karen Baker, airbase team leader and critical care paramedic for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
Now Karen Baker, an air medic from Midlands Air Ambulance, has issued a plea for people to stop committing these"thoughtless" acts. “Thankfully Midlands Air Ambulance Charity hasn’t been affected by laser attacks in the past twelve months, but we have been victims of this in the past and are still keen to highlight the danger of pointing laser pens at all types of aircraft."
Last week a man from Walsall was given a suspended jail sentence for shining a laser pen at a police helicopter which was carrying out a search operation.
