On November 5, a 40-year-old Avignon resident was arrested and remanded in custody for violence committed against a person entrusted with a public service mission. In this case, a nurse from the psychiatric hospital of Montfavet. The facts take place within the hospital itself, where the man, judged in immediate comparison this Monday before the criminal court of Avignon, was interned.

A punch to the left temple, another to the right temple

During a therapeutic mediation session that Friday, he loses his temper with the staff and another patient. A nurse then invites him to leave the premises. But the latter insults her, threatens her by raising his fist in the air. He ends up sending him an object, that his victim narrowly. The forty-something then hits him with a punch on the left temple, then a second, stronger, on the right temple.

Because of his heavy criminal record and knowing that the individual refused to undergo a psychological examination, the court sentenced him to 6 months in prison without ordering continued detention. He will soon be summoned by the sentence enforcement judge.
