A patient badly injured a nurse at the CHUL hospital in Canada. Following recent assaults on healthcare workers, a third victim decided to remain inside the psychiatric emergency department to ensure safety.

A nursing association indicates a rising number of violence against their members. A union stated that the assault on the nurse at the CHUL hospital is far from an isolated case. Journal de Québec, Noovo Info, and TVA Nouvelles reported details about the assault and the victim's decision to stay in psychiatric emergency.
