It is now illegal to obstruct emergency workers and you can now be fined £5000.
Anyone who wilfully gets in the way of firefighters, ambulance crews, coastguards or lifeboat crews could faces charges.
Home Office minister Gerry Sutcliffe said "Such behaviour will not be tolerated, and deliberate attempts to prevent emergency workers from doing their jobs will face a stiff penalty."
Wake up and get real you blockhead.
In the majority of cases, it is firefighters who are attacked.
Quite often they are pelted with stones by gangs of children between the ages of 8 to 14, usually on estates where the only person likely to know what £5000 looks like is the local drugs dealer.
Wake up and get real you blockhead.
