A bogus call lured an emergency medical services unit to a Brooklyn apartment building Monday night where the first responders were robbed at gunpoint, police said.
The EMS unit -- a 45-year-old man and 28-year-old woman -- were part of a volunteer ambulance squad, WABC-TV, the ABC owned station in New York City reported. The pair were called just after 11 p.m. to 365 Sackman Street in Brownsville to respond to a person who was having difficulty breathing, the New York Police Department told Fox News.
Authorities said there was no patient.
