GARDAI are hunting a gunman who threatened an ambulance crew with a pistol just metres from a busy hospital. 

Two paramedics – one male and one female – were left traumatised after a masked man pulled a revolver on them while they were stopped at traffic lights.

There were no casualties on board the ambulance which was just metres away from Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, Co Louth, when they were targeted.

A source told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “They were on their way back to the hospital between calls, thankfully there were no casualties on board at the time.
