A paramedic is speaking out after being attacked by a young patient, who she says bit her in the face.
“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.”

The injuries sustained by our paramedic are horrific. No one should be attacked when they are at work, and certainly not EMTs and paramedics who respond to every incident with one mission – to save lives, FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in a statement Friday.
Law enforcement sources tell News 4 Thursday night s case was the third such attack in the last month. Another EMS member was bitten on the thumb during a call Feb. 27, while a firefighter responding to an EMS call was slammed into a wall earlier last month, the sources said.
Police say the 17-year-old suspect in the latest case faces three counts of assault. Sources say she appeared to be high on drugs and had to be heavilyu sedated after the attack.
