The attacker, a 40-year-old woman, was reported by the police who intervened on the scene.
Yesterday evening, around 7pm, in Torre del Greco, in the province of Naples, a patient, waiting in the emergency room, first railed against the staff on duty, then attempted to strangle a nurse by also hitting her with a kick. It happened at the Maresca hospital. The attacker, a 40-year-old woman, was reported by the police who intervened on the scene.
According to what is also described on social media, the woman arrived at the emergency room, complaining of dizziness: she was assigned a green code and was put on hold. During this wait, the woman hears another patient complaining from afar and begins to act as a ‘champion of justice’, railing against the healthcare staff, wishing death and threatening those present.”
As usual, words turn to deeds and the 40-year-old lunges at a nurse trying to put her hands around her neck, the young professional manages to dodge the attacker’s fury, but still receives a kick from the latter. The police are immediately alerted, who identify the lady and proceed with the report. We believe that now the woman’s dizziness has turned into a migraine at the thought of facing criminal proceedings!.
