Bronwen Newbury, 27,  broke down when she discovered the graffiti at 7am on Sunday after her mammoth shift on the NHS frontline, reports Bristol Live.

The graffiti, sprayed in pink paint across the length of the right side of the vehicle, reads: “don’t call am 999″.

It made me feel pretty angry more than anything and disappointed, I’d just done 12 hours in work for my fourth shift in a row in like six shifts in six days

Bronwen’s white Kia Ceed car was parked in Soundwell Ambulance Station staff car park overnight in east Bristol and her vehicle wasn’t the only one targeted.

“I think they were going to write ‘ambulance’ and changed it to ‘999’,” Bronwen said.

“The girl next to me also had her car painted. It was in the staff car park, so they would have had a really good idea that we were working for the ambulance service. She had two or three big pink dots down one side.

“It made me feel pretty angry more than anything and disappointed, I’d just done 12 hours in work for my fourth shift in a row in like six shifts in six days. You feel like you’re making a difference and helping people and that’s what spurs you on through the long hours. Then you get back and that’s how your help and your hard work pays off.

“I didn’t know whether I was upset about it or angry about it. I was trying to put a brave face on it because quite a few people were around. Initially I was quite upset and then when that subsided I was really angry about it.

“When I got in the car to drive home, I got a bit emotional. I phoned my partner to let him know what had happened and just got a bit teary.”

Bronwen usually uses her car to travel from her home in Caerphilly, south Wales, to work.

In the four years she has worked for South Western Ambulance Service, she says she has saved countless lives.

Since sharing her dismay on social media, the young woman has received an outpouring of support. Her post garnered about 700 reactions and almost 400 comments.

The car has since been cleaned by Matt Churchward, from Spray Coating Specialists, who says the job took two hours to complete.

South Western Ambulance Service said on Twitter: “On Saturday night, some of our colleagues working a night shift at Soundwell Ambulance Station, Bristol had their cars vandalised in our car park. This is unacceptable, Avon and Somerset Police have been informed.

“If you know any additional information please call 101 & quote CRN 5221060379.”

Avon and Somerset Police have been contacted for a comment.
