(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County's ambulance crisis caused a stabbing victim to be transported to a hospital in the back of a police car. Just after midnight Sunday, Portland Fire & Rescue responded to a person who had been stabbed multiple times. No ambulances were available, so the patient was loaded into a police car with a paramedic who cared for the person during the emergency ride to a hospital. The patient's condition hasn't been released. Multnomah County requires ambulances to be staffed with two paramedics. AMR says the shortage of paramedics has limited their ability to staff all ambulances with two paramedics.
