A nursing assistant who attacked two elderly women patients in a hospital ward was spared a jail sentence today.
Calum Knox, 31, assaulted Agnes Ferguson and Ann Reid, both aged 81, while working at Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock, in Ayrshire, in 2018.
He repeatedly poked Agnes Ferguson in the ribs and syringed liquid into the mouth of the other victim exposing her to the risk of aspiration.
