At one point, the defendant sprayed tear gas at the police officers, while the ambulance driver, the paramedic and the patient, who were also injured by the tear gas, were inside the ambulance.

At the same time, rioters who were at the scene slammed the ambulance door on the back of one of the policemen and sprayed the policemen with water.

At one point, Razem took control of the driver's seat, and began a wild and fast ride.

After a short time he braked the ambulance suddenly and fled the scene while the ambulance was in a state of deterioration.

As a result of the defendant's actions, the police officers, the ambulance driver, the paramedic and the patient were injured, among other things, they suffered burns to their eyes and injuries to their bodies.
