Two bailed on Vic paramedic attack charge

Two women accused of violently attacking ambulance workers as they tried to treat a man in Melbourne's north have been released on bail.

Caris Underwood, 18, of Reservoir and Amanda Warren, 30, of Epping, had no connection to the patient being treated in a street when they launched the seemingly unplanned assault, the prosecution says.

The two paramedics were responding to a triple-0 call when two women and a man who were also there became verbally aggressive, the Melbourne Magistrates Court heard.

Detective leading senior constable Trent Barker said the paramedics began to fear for their safety when Warren, a mother of four, aggressively pushed ambulance worker Paul Judd backwards before punching him in the face.

Underwood joined in, and Warren was observed by a passer-by to stomp on Mr Judd's ankle and leg several times, Det Const Barker said.

Warren is also accused of ramming the front of the ambulance with her car before speeding off.

Mr Judd sustained a fractured, dislocated left foot and swelling and bruising to his head and arms.

He underwent surgery for more than three hours on Saturday, during which several pins and plates were inserted into his foot, the court heard.

Det Const Barker said it's unclear if he will ever be able to return to his career as a paramedic.

Magistrate Peter Reardon said the women, both mothers, were entitled to bail but "significant punishment may flow" if they are found guilty of assault-related charges.

A 15-year-old, who cannot be named, is also charged over the attack.

"There's no doubt this is a particularly serious assault that has taken place," Magistrate Reardon said.

"It's hard to imagine anyone who would have any malice towards emergency workers."

Prosecutor Jelena Malobabic opposed the bail application on the grounds that the women pose a risk to the community.

Both were severely intoxicated on the evening of the attack, the court heard.

Magistrate Reardon said emergency service workers often had to deal with people at their worst.

"They're there to render assistance ... the last thing they need is for people to attack them."
