‘Reckless’ influencers scolded for blocking active ambulance for photoshoot: ‘Ghouls with cameras’
A pair of ‘reckless’ influencers have been scolded for blocking an active ambulance for a photoshoot.
The duo were caught on camera last week by an onlooker in West Hollywood, Los Angeles.
The clip showed a young man reclining on a gurney inside the open doors of the emergency response vehicle that had pulled up at the side of the road.
A blonde woman, who wore a white t-shirt, black shorts and heels, nonchalantly took his picture.
As the man continued to pose, one passerby seemingly took matters into his own hands.
He strode over towards the duo and ushered them away from the ambulance just as the actual patient was wheeled into shot by medics.
The Good Samaritan continued to berate the pair for their actions as he exaggeratedly gestured towards the man suffering a medical emergency.
The couple looked disgruntled at the intervention but began slowly walking away back toward the sidewalk.

The clip was originally shared with overlaid text that made reference to a current social media trend. It mockingly read: ‘Not everyone can be at Milan Fashion Week.
‘Someone’s gotta influence in West Hollywood.’
And it quickly began circulating online after it was uploaded to Reddit alongside a caption that read: ‘Influencers take photos in ambulance attending to a patient on a gurney.’
The comments came in thick and fast as one response read: ‘My god people are ridiculous.’
Another added: ‘Ghouls with cameras and zero self awareness.’
A third said: ‘Normalize shaming these people for their behavior.’
And someone else typed: ‘Is she trying to argue against the guy telling them to f**k off?? Surely not… surely you can’t be that f**king stupid… surely?’
Other viewers branded it as ‘reckless,’ ‘disrespectful’ and ‘disgusting’ behavior.
