‘Angel of death’: Nigerian born UK student arraigned for assaulting a paramedic in drunk rage (PICTURED)

A paramedic was hurled against the window of an
ambulance and punched repeatedly in the head until he
lost consciousness by the drunken thug he had been trying
to treat.
In a depressing indictment of modern Britain, Akinwunmi
Akinyuwa attacked Qasam Pervez as they were travelling
to hospital in the early hours of the morning.
The 29-year-old student, who had been found slumped and
intoxicated in a communal stairwell at his home, began
shouting 'angel of death' before unstrapping himself from
the stretcher.
He then threw Mr Pervez against the window so he hit his
head on the glass before reigning blows on the back of his
head as he lay defenceless on the floor.
Akinyuwa, of Blackfriars in Salford, fled the ambulance
when it came to a halt. He was arrested the next day.
He pleaded guilty to assault when he appeared at
Manchester Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Barry Cuttle, defending, said the Nigerian-born defendant,
was 'deeply ashamed and deeply sorry' for his actions.
He said: 'This man has made the first mistake of his life
and is deeply upset.'
Akinyuwa, who is studying a management course at
college, cannot remember anything about the October 22
attack after getting drunk while celebrating his birthday
with friends.
His conviction comes as figures reveal a rise in reports of
attacks on ambulance service staff in the north west.
In the first six months of this year 78 assaults have been
reported, representing a 64 per cent increase, North West
Ambulance Service NHS Trust said.
Almost half of the reports were made by staff working in
central Manchester.
Akinyuwa's victim Mr Pervez has suffered blurred vision
and headaches since the attack. He has also struggled with
anxiety and fears he will be assaulted again.
Facing prison: Akinyuwa was warned he could face prison
when he is sentenced at Manchester Magistrates' Court
later this month. The court heard at statement from Mr
Pervez, which said: 'I feel angry because I am there to
help people'
The paramedic had initially been laughing and joking with
his attacker and had been filling in paperwork when he
was assaulted.
In a statement read to the court, Mr Pervez said: 'I feel
angry because I am there to help people. I feel anxious
about returning to work.
'Every patient could be a potential suspect or attacker.
This assault has definitely knocked my confidence. The
assault was totally unprovoked.'
The paramedic, who has worked as an emergency medical
technician with North West Ambulance Service for four
years, said he was determined to return to work.
Akinyuwa is due to be sentenced on November 27 after
the case was adjourned for reports.

He was released on bail.
