A man who allegedly stabbed a 25-year-old emergency medical technician in an ambulance last month was indicted on attempted murder and other charges Monday, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office announced Monday.
On July 19 at around 8:20 p.m., Rudy Garcia, 48, was being taken by ambulance from West 94th Street and Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side to Mount Sinai West Hospital following a cardiac arrest call. The vehicle was in the hospital’s emergency bay when Garcia became agitated, throwing a gum wrapper at EMT Julia Fatum. After she asked him to stop and attempted to calm him down, Garcia allegedly pulled a large knife out of his sock and brutally stabbed Fatum in her chest, arm and left leg several times, according to prosecutors.
