A Fergus woman faces charges after a nurse at a Guelph healthcare facility was attacked twice, Guelph police report.
On Oct. 10 the suspect was agitated and used a sign to repeatedly strike a window of a nursing station. A short time later the woman had fallen asleep in a common area when a nurse woke her. The woman became agitated, punching the nurse in the face and pulling her hair while yelling death threats.
