The crew was alerted to the patient along the railroad tracks on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River.

The man with a decreased level of consciousness was given a dose of Narcan, which revived him, according to WTOV9.com.

Scott Gill then started attacking the crew. 

After he got behind the wall, I seen him fighting with one of the ambulance guys ," witness James Hall told the reporter. "And when the cops got down there, he took off running..."

Gill was found in Steubenville about two hours later. Officers don't know how he crossed the river into Ohio.

He's now behind bars facing charges.
