WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE -- Brought in by ambulance, taken away by police. A Milwaukee woman will soon face felony battery charges after biting a security officer. It happened at Saint Joseph Hospital in Milwaukee Saturday afternoon.
The patient was taken there by ambulance. The woman started lashing out verbally when she didn't get the care she wanted. The hospital says she threatened nurses then continued to verbally harass security officers when they were called in to help. In a move that even surprised security officials, she bit an officer's head then spit in his mouth.
Hospital security officers are trained to calm patients down through talking first but if the person continues to be aggressive, they will restrain.
The bitten security officer was treated then returned to work to finish a double shift.
