THUNDER BAY — The number of violent incidents against staff at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has been increasing significantly over the last several years, and three weeks before the hospital launched a workplace violence awareness campaign, four nurses and a security guard were assaulted in the emergency department.
The incident at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre occurred in May 2022 when officers with the Thunder Bay Police Service were contacted about an assaultive patient in the emergency department. Security was called and the accused was escorted to a secured room. While attempting to restrain him, the accused kicked and pushed three other nurses and a security guard. When police arrived, the accused had been sedated and was sleeping.
Justice Chantal Brochu noted that the most serious charges against the accused involved mental health issues, which were considered mitigating factors in his case.
