"Jonty Bravery, 24, was found guilty of assaulting nurses Linda McKinlay and Kate Mastalerz at Broadmoor Hospital in September 2024. He kicked one in the thigh and clawed at the face of another, leaving her with blood dripping down her cheek."
"His trial for assaulting the nurses heard Bravery has to be monitored by three members of staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is kept in a room with only a mattress in it. Of the attack, prosecutor Tom Heslop told the court: At around 9.30 at night, Mr Bravery asked to go to the toilet. After he used the bathroom, he attempted to climb a ledge and throw himself from it."
"The nurses tried to restrain him, putting him on his mattress before turning him on to his back, Mr Heslop said. Bravery kicked out towards Ms Mastalerz, hitting her in the thigh and clawed across Ms McKinlay's face, leaving her with blood dripping down her cheek, the court heard. Body-worn footage played to the trial showed the nurses struggling on the floor with Bravery before other staff rushed in to the room to help. A panicked staff member can be heard shouting Jesus Christ do something."
Jonty Bravery assaulted two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital in September 2024, kicking one in the thigh and clawing another’s face, causing blood to drip down her cheek. He is due to be sentenced on Thursday and did not attend his November trial. Bravery is held under constant observation by three staff and is confined to a room with only a mattress. He attempted to climb a ledge to throw himself after using the toilet, prompting nurses to restrain him. Body-worn footage showed staff struggling with him before colleagues intervened. Bravery previously received a life sentence for throwing a boy from Tate Modern in 2019; the boy survived with life-changing injuries.
