The doctor, who attended the man at the health center, described the sequence of events in a complaint received by the National Police. The man sought care and then requested to be discharged due to depression. He claimed that his ongoing issues with the center’s staff had limited his ability to obtain a medical permit. The doctor noted that the request appeared to be connected to an effort to delay or avoid further treatment, and he prepared to schedule a follow-up evaluation. Police add that the patient subsequently became hostile and threw a computer placed on the desk toward the physician, while also striking the nurse who was assisting. The assailant intensified his aggression and directed threats toward medical staff, ultimately tossing a phone and continuing to pursue violence within the examination room. The doctor attempted to retreat to prevent further harm, seeking to protect both herself and her colleagues. Police accounts indicate that the assailant left the room, exited the health center, and fled the scene by bicycle, with witnesses observing his departure. This violent disruption caused immediate distress, forcing staff to initiate safety protocols and prompting medical staff to address the emotional and physical impact of the incident. The event triggered a heightened state of anxiety among the team, who had to adjust daily routines and protect patient safety in the aftermath. Police responders arrived at the location to secure the scene and assess the threat, leading to the suspect’s capture and subsequent remand to the appropriate judicial authority. This sequence of events underscores the ongoing concern for safety in healthcare facilities and the need for rapid police intervention to protect medical personnel in the line of duty.
