Wilton Woman Attempted to Bite EMS Personnel, Kicked Another: Cops

A Wilton woman was arrested on June 7 following an incident in April where she allegedly became agitated while first responders were attempting to render first aid.

According to police, officers went to the woman’s residence after receiving several 911 calls from the home.

When officers arrived, they determined that Neelu Pal, 44 needed medical attention and EMS was called to the scene.

Pal allegedly attempted to bite one emergency responder and kicked another while in the ambulance, police said.

She was charged with assault on emergency personnel, attempted assault on emergency personnel and misuse of 911 call. Pal was given a $2,500 bond and a court date of June 19.

Pal’s defense attorney Mark Sherman said he is confident the charges will be dismissed in court adding that the charges are overblown and not reflective of what really happened that day.

“Any resistance from Dr. Pal was necessary for her to defend herself from the conduct of a few overly aggressive law enforcement officers. You don’t have to look far in the news to appreciate that this issue is becoming a problem,” Sherman said in an email to Wilton Patch.
