A hospital patient bit a nurse on the arm after he protested being moved to a ward for people with Covid-19. As a result of the bite, the nurse needed injections to prevent tetanus and hepatitis.
Awdear Khaledi, 23, carried out the vicious assault while a patient at Llandough Hospital on May 4, 2020, after taking exception to being placed in a ward for people suspected of having coronavirus. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard he became "increasingly agitated" and demanded to be returned to the other ward.
The defendant was banging on a locked door of the ward and as victim Judith Campbell went to make some checks she saw he had entered an office where there were two other nurses. They were trying to restrain him and Ms Campbell tried to assist but he was too strong.
