ST. LOUIS — Officials said the owner of a car that was on fire punched two firefighters in the face on Friday because he believed they were taking too long to put the flames out.
Police responded to an aid call at the intersection of Shreve and Natural Bridge in north St. Louis at about 5:51 p.m.
St. Louis Fire Capt. Garon Mosby said the man’s car ended up on the sidewalk after a crash and caught fire.
The firefighters refused treatment.
The St. Louis Police Department arrived shortly after and took the man into custody.
