The police say they shot him 3 times... but you heal automatically while you’re in the ambulance so no use.

[WillieStubbs]

I was thinking he'd pull in front and lift the front end off the ground.

[spasjt]

This is a real man, he saw a threat and realized it could impact innocent strangers and friends alike, so he stopped it. Bravo and well done good sir!

[blackcellagent]

What a great man to step up and put himself in danger to help stop a dangerous man. I sure hope the city doesn’t sue him too bad.

Man I really though he was going to swoop in and actually pick up the ambulance and start towing it 😂

Guy in the ambulance had a 5 star wanted level. They brought in a swat truck.

"I didn't even know it was stolen I just thought the paramedics did a hit and run"

Wait what

[tehgamist]

The fact he jumped off the stretcher and stole the ambulance, lmao.
“I’m going to need an ambulance ... but not for me”

[adder]

This guy is great! Everyone has to learn to be like him

[edpablo]

He helped end a potentially fatal chase, all while remembering his grandmother was a Police Officer and got free advertising for his towing company
Great job!

[walangaccount]

This is literally me after getting out of the hospital in GTA.

[BloodyKnives]

Need more people in this world standing up to help their fellow neighbors. Great job

[arizonapersona]

Darn i wanted to see him Hook up and drive it right to the Station...

[fey]

He calls 911: "HELP IVE BEEN SHOT!"
Operator: "sir where are you?"
Him: "IM IN AN AMBULANCE!"
operator:😐

[mermadeinthes]

This guy just made me want to hug him. He’s got a heart of gold, raised well. I only wish there were more like him.✨✨♥️✨✨

[michaelleamon]

I hope they pay for the damages to his truck for his heroic efforts on stepping up to the plate❤
