An FDNY emergency medical technician and mother of five was killed and her partner was injured in the Bronx Thursday when a man stole their ambulance and ran over one of the first responders, officials said.
EMT Yadira Arroyo, 44, a 14-year veteran of the FDNY, died at Jacobi Medical Center, where her partner, EMT Monique Williams, 31, was treated for minor injuries, sources said.
“They were acting very bravely, they certainly wanted to continue on their way to the call,” FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said after meeting with Williams and Arroyo’s families at Jacobi.
The nightmare unfolded in Soundview around 7:10 p.m. when the pair realized that a man was riding on the back bumper of their ambulance as they responded to a call about a pregnant woman, officials said.

Just another night in the Bronx.
Glad there’s a few boroughs between us.
THAT’S why I dont WANT a subway connecting Staten Island to the other boroughs.
Don’t want em falling asleep and ending up here.
Execute the Bastard Son of a B#tch!
>> a man was riding on the back bumper of their ambulance
A man?
Was there about 10 years ago. Wasn’t a bad experience... no loose monkeys...
Areas have certainly become more “gentrified” (read liberal whites kicking out blacks), but some neighborhoods are still bad.
Yes, that is why the areas west of Newark NJ didn’t want the PATH extended into their areas.
Reason Hudson–Bergen Light Rail
HBLR still has not reached Bergen County after 17 years?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson%E2%80%93Bergen_Light_Rail
Never mind this, whose toilet did President Trump overflow last week?
Just curious about the perp’s immigration status.
Interesting; thanks. They are looking at how to connect my town to that across the Meadowlands (to Jersey City); would’ve been great 20 years ago, but now there are a lot less people that would use it as my town ghettofies. Already had our rail line to NYC discontinued years ago...
Amen to that. Mental status as well. Looks like he was roughed up just a bit. Too bad he didn’t manage to fall under a moving ambulance.
Sad that some think it more important to discuss where some rail line might go versus the tragic death of a public servant who gave her life while en route to save someone else.
The perps picture looks a though he was either on drugs or booze but definitely out of it. He deserves the death penalty.
Grew up there....moved to the burbs in 64. Would NEVER move back to NYC anywhere but there are areas of the Bronx that aren’t butt awful

These people only serve to do good. I have seen them in action for 35 years now. RIP and may she sit with Jesus tonight.
We should spend at least a minute pondering the life of a woman who only did good in her life!
Demonic. I have no other words.
Very sad RIP great American.
I no longer blame "him" but the system that allows "him" to still be alive and out of jail. Liberals have broken the system. THIS is what needs to be addressed.
