A PARAMEDIC accused of sexually assaulting colleagues had an erection while driving an ambulance, a court was told.
David Lee, 31, is also said to have grabbed the breasts of a colleague while she fetched kit from their ambulance to treat a patient.
The 26-year-old witness said yesterday: "He started to become a bit sleazier and flirtatious as the shift went on.
"He was like a puppy that always needed attention. He got some gloves down my top and asked if he could help get them back. I was exhausted.
"He said to me 'this is what you do to me' and pointed down at his crotch. He had an erection in the ambulance while he was driving."
"He just kept asking if I would touch it - saying that if I did then he'd leave me alone. He took his penis out of his trousers. He exposed himself.
"I laughed in disbelief. Later he grabbed my breasts over my clothing it was like a bear hug from behind."

During cross examination, defence advocate David Moggach accused the witness of engaging in "flirtatious behaviour" with Lee.

The woman replied: "That's a complete lie.
"I felt too intimidated to come forward."
