EMS Captain Choked by Unconscious Man | Harrisburg News

A 33-year-old man, Rashaun Sligh, just got sentenced to prison for violently attacking an EMS captain in Lancaster City last November—grabbing him by the throat and choking him while he tried to help. A bystander intervened, saving the captain’s life. Sligh fled, resisted arrest, and was eventually subdued with a stun gun, appearing disoriented and under the influence with drug paraphernalia found on him. He now faces 1–2 years in jail plus five years probation. The attack has reignited urgent conversations about protecting EMS workers, who often act before police arrive—and sometimes without backup or protective gear.
