Hospital assault, 55-year-old arrested in Ragusa
According to questure.poliziadistato.it, the Ragusa State Police arrested a 55-year-old man for assault against a healthcare worker in the emergency department of Giovanni Paolo II Hospital. The incident occurred when the patient, who had sustained a hand injury in a domestic accident, had been treated and invited to wait in the waiting room.
A few minutes later, the man allegedly displayed impatience, demanding immediate admission and adopting aggressive attitudes towards staff and other patients. The confrontation escalated when the 55-year-old, in a rage, struck an operator with kicks and punches, throwing him to the ground.
A police patrol from the Questura intervened at the scene, identifying the man — already known to law enforcement — and proceeding with his arrest. On the orders of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Ragusa, the 55-year-old was placed under house arrest.
