“No one realized that she bit me,” explained Jenna Piscitello, who has been an EMT with the Fire Department for seven years and a paramedic for nearly two years. “And I wasn’t screaming or anything like that because I was in shock, and I just wanted it to end, and then she finally let go.”

Emergency workers and local officials are responding to news of a 28-year-old paramedic from Staten Island who was allegedly bitten on the face early Friday morning by an emotionally disturbed teenager in Brooklyn.
Jenna Piscitello, of Great Kills, could have permanent scarring on her cheek from the attack, which occurred as medics were attempting to lay the female patient on a stretcher, according to a statement issued by the union representing city EMS workers. We re all familiar with the fictional killer Hannibal Lecter; for Ms. Piscitello, that horror became a reality, wrote Local 2507 President Oren Barzilay. No one should come to work having to fear getting assaulted or possibly killed.
