Overview
- Security cameras recorded a 20-year-old psychiatric patient assaulting an administrative worker at Hospital de Maternidad Dr. Eduardo Oller in San Francisco Solano on Tuesday, March 24.
- The outburst began after staff refused to admit a pastor outside visiting hours, and the patient entered reception, pulled the worker by the hair, punched her repeatedly, and later smashed her phone.
- Colleagues and bystanders intervened to separate the pair and assisted the injured employee until police arrived.
- Officers transported both women to Comisaría Cuarta, and UFI Nº11 in Quilmes opened a case for injuries and property damage while awaiting medical and forensic reports on the accused.
- Staff cite prior incidents and now press for tighter safeguards, including a permanent police post inside the hospital that they say has not been applied consistently.
