A disturbing incident unfolded at Curry Cabral Hospital in Lisbon, where a nurse was assaulted and a doctor threatened by a group of eight individuals. The altercation took place in the Nephrology department following the death of a patient related to the attackers.
According to reports confirmed by PSP, the attack occurred early Monday morning, with the police identifying four of the eight involved individuals. The group's aggressive behavior was reportedly a reaction to the death of their relative, who was under hospital care.
The São José Local Health Unit issued a statement expressing deep regret over the incident, particularly the violence against healthcare professionals dedicated to providing the best care to patients. The injured staff members received on-site treatment for minor injuries.
In addition to the physical assaults, the group caused damage to a hospital corridor. The PSP is set to report the incident to the Public Ministry, highlighting the severity of the attack on healthcare workers.
