Emergency bell in ambulance

A rescue worker shows an emergency button installed inside an ambulance at Yangcheon Fire Station in Seoul, Thursday. When rescue workers are faced with violence by a drunk person in their ambulance, the driver will be notified by the alarm bell and stop the vehicle to contact police. The measure follows multiple cases of drunken people assaulting rescue workers. / Yonhap
