Ambulance crews should carry cameras to help prevent thousands of assaults on front-line staff in London each year, according to a report.
The Freedom of Information Act figures revealed up to four ambulance workers are attacked each day in the capital.
Report author Roger Evans said body-worn CCTV cameras would act as visible deterrents.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) welcomed the report but said cameras on crews or ambulances would undermine trust.
