EMS Lt. Anthony Almojera is calling for better equipment, bulletproof vests, and more staff.
Defense attorneys said he has a past psychiatric history dating back to 2018.
FDNY members who packed the courtroom rallied after the hearing, pushing back on the mental health defense. "There is no other city agency in safety that rides alone," added Oren Barzilay, president of Uniformed EMTs, Paramedics & Fire Inspectors Local 2507. "Whether it's an emotionally disturbed person, a shooting, a stabbing, fire, whatever comes into the 911 system, I'm alone. It's nerve wracking," Almojera said, adding when asked what the city needs to do,"Invest in EMS."
