Three ambulance officers assaulted overnight in Brisbane

Two patients have been accused of allegedly attacking ambulance officers in separate incidents in south east Queensland overnight.

A female paramedic was treated in hospital for cuts and bruises after allegedly being punched in the head by a woman she was treating at a Brisbane hotel last night.

A 21-year-old Taringa woman has been charged with one count each of serious assault on a public officer causing harm and serious assault public officer performing function.

She has since been granted watch-house bail.

She is due to face court again in early February.

Two male ambulance officers were also punched in a separate incident at Landsborough, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland last night.

They'd been called to a home to treat a 32-year-old man, but he turned violent and punched them both.

The officers didn't require medical treatment.

There has been a recent spate of attacks against paramedics.

A taskforce has been looking at on-the-job violence faced by ambulance officers and is due to report back to the government early this year.

In December last year paramedic Brad Johnson was punched dozens of times around his head and suffered a black eye and tissue damage to his face and body.

The incident occurred while Johnson was treating an alleged drug affected patient on the way to hospital.

Johnson spoke out hoping to stop what paramedics are calling a sickening trend.

Mr Johnson was on his last job before clocking off for Christmas holidays when a patient gave him a brutal bashing.

"He's initially hit me five times. I was stunned."

Mr Johnson was helpless, trapped in the back of the ambulance and the patient turned attacker struck him 60 times.

"I was so lucky I didn't take a severe blow to the temple, or loose an eye or fracture a jaw. It could've so easily been much worse."

Mr Johnson and partner Belinda Donkers were treating the man from a suspected drug overdose at Upper Coomera.
