ABC7

STUDIO CITY - Answering a call for help turned life threatening for paramedics, when the person they were trying to help attacks them.

It happened late last night at an apartment on Magnolia Street in Studio City.

Paramedics answered to a call about a man who wasn't feeling well and when they got into the apartment authorities say the man locked the door behind them and began to beat them. Eventually officers and firefighters were able to gain control. Two paramedics and a police officer were sent to the hospital with minor injuries.

Police say the man had apparently binged on cocaine for ten days.
