Police officers say they were sworn at for not picking up discarded emergency kit as they helped rescue a trapped motorcyclist from underneath a car in Doncaster at the weekend.
The male rider had become wedged under the Ford Wildtrak pick-up truck after a crash on Harlod Avenue, Woodlands on Saturday.
But South Yorkshire Police officers say they were sworn at by local residents after the air ambulance blew medical wrappers around as it landed.
Writing on Facebook, officers said they were "not so pleased" by members of the public swearing at them as they freed the man.
The rider was taken to hospital after suffering broken bones.
