A 34-year-old woman is facing multiple charges after she allegedly locked a nurse in a room and attacked her while she was receiving treatment. According to RCMP, officers with the Gods Lake Narrows detachment were called to the community nursing station just after 3 a.m. on Thursday. When they arrived, security guards had already responded and had a woman restrained. Mounties learned that the woman was being seen by nurses at the nursing station, and at one point, the suspect allegedly locked herself in a room with a nurse and began to attack her. RCMP said a struggle took place as the nurse tried to escape the room, and other nursing staff eventually managed to enter to try and help their coworker. RCMP said two other staff members were then assaulted. Two nurses and one doctor all suffered minor injuries following the incident and security guards were able to restrain the suspect. The suspect is facing multiple charges including three counts of assault, and one charge each of forcible confinement and assault while choking or suffocating. She was released on an undertaking and none of the charges have been proven in court. RCMP continue to investigate.
