A man who went to the emergency room of Deaconess Hospital seeking medical treatment Dec. 8 became belligerent with staff before brandishing a knife, which he used to attack two nurses and a security officer.
Keith Bain, 58, severely injured the security officer, cutting him on the neck. He slashed and bit a nurse on the arm, and attempted to stab a second nurse who escaped uninjured, reports the Associated Press.
After the attack, Bain locked himself inside an examination room where he pulled a sink out of the wall, flooding the room and causing more than $2,500 in damage.
Bain was taken into custody and is awaiting formal charges for assault and battery with a deadly weapon and malicious injury and destruction of property.
