Women were caught on camera twerking in an ambulance in the Bronx earlier this week.

A video shows the back doors of an ambulance open - and out comes not a sick patient, but scantily clad women twerking.

It happened outside of Bronxcare Health System on the Grand Concourse Monday afternoon.

Another angle of the video shows one of the women straddling and hitting what appears to be a man acting as a patient on a stretcher in the ambulance.

Penny Lee, an Instagram entertainer, say she was asked to act in the skit by a friend.

"People that were pedestrians that were posting the video obviously took it out of context because they didn't know what was going on," said Lee.

Citywide Ambulance says they were told their vehicle would be used as a prop involved in the promotion of hand sanitizer.

The company says none of its employees are in the racy video, but local EMT union President Oren Barzilary is condemning the video - calling it an insult to the profession.

"There are times where we need to be sensitive to what we do. Our actions have repercussions. And this kind of behavior to our profession is simply unacceptable," said Barzilary.

Citywide Ambulance said in a statement, "We do not condone the behavior depicted in the video, and acted to terminate the events as soon as practicable upon learning of the true nature of the producer's intentions."

Lee says she was only asked to dance in the video and she did not organize the project. She says she will not be posting the video.

"This was really an accident, it wasn't meant to be taken the way it was, and we are definitely sorry for any trouble it caused in anyway," Lee said.

Citywide Ambulance says it is considering legal action against the producers.
