** A Shoreditch man has escaped jail time after urinating from a fourth floor balcony onto a female paramedic attempting to aid an assault victim. LBC (March 3) said Andrew Whitehead, 22, has instead been sentenced to only 300 hours community service. According to the news site, Whitehead committed the act on January 31st in the early morning hours. The patient involved was being treated for head injuries at the time. Paramedic Lorna Mcllwaine, 30, who was the victim of the incident, said Whitehead was chuckling while he exposed himself on the balcony. She said the prank resulted in her unit being taken out of service for a brief period. Along with the community service order, Whitehead was also tasked with paying a 250 pound fine.
