Two hospital security guards were fired for removing violent patient from the E.R. of a Sydney hospital, according to an article on the Sydney Morning Herald.
The alleged misconduct was the latest in a string of security issues plaguing New South Wales hospital system.
A patient believed to be affected by the drug ice, allegedly grabbed a police officer's gun during a struggle on the ground and fired two shots, hitting the officer and a security guard in their legs.
However, when the fired guards restrained him and forced him outside, he fell back and hit the pavement, causing his head to bleed.
"NSW Health has a strong policy position that violence against any staff member or patient is not tolerated. There are comprehensive policies on the management of security and violence issues in the workplace," a spokeswoman for Sydney Local Health District said.
