The man used a stake to break the windows and cause other damage.

A man wielding a stake damaged an ambulance and tried to strike two San Francisco firefighters Monday afternoon.

The suspect then took off in the ambulance, and after allegedly trying to strike the medics, drove laps around a parking lot, CBS reported adding that he later left the rig and jumped over a fence.

"This morning two of our members were attacked by someone who used a stake from a tree, smashing windows and trying to assault them. This is another ambulance out of service and two personnel who are rightfully, shaken up. This behavior in our City is not acceptable" San Francisco Local 798 officials said in a statement.
