A woman assaulted a Queen's Medical Centre nurse and racially abused her own care worker, a court has heard. The woman had become 'agitated' during a visit to hospital when she lashed out.
Sally Pinney, 56, of Carlton Hill, was taken to the QMC in Nottingham "for treatment for mental health". During a hearing at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday, March 31, the prosecution said she had punched a nurse "numerous times".
The nurse, Sophie Smith, was subject to abuse alongside Pinney's care worker, Nadine Francis, who had attended the hospital visit with her. The court heard the incident happened on the evening of March 6 and continued into the morning on March 7.
