On duty just after 6pm, these paramedics' shift is about to go bad

Alice Springs paramedic Abbey Studley, who suffered a brain injury during a brutal attack on the job two years ago, has returned to work with local ambulance crews.

While the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) was tagging along with the ambulance team during a shift starting just after 6:00 pm, the crew recorded its 100th attack for the year.

The incident highlights ongoing occupational violence faced by emergency service personnel in the region.
