A Salt Lake man is arrested after Provo police say he tried to take a fire truck.

When paramedics arrive at a crash, probably the last thing they worry about is someone trying to take their fire truck.

But court documents show that while they were treating a driver in Provo last week, the other driver involved in the wreck took his 5-year-old son, climbed into the fire truck and stepped on the gas. When confronted, the man jumped out and took off running.

Court documents say when he was caught, he tried to punch a paramedic and kick a police officer.
