He attacks a nurse "with a knife" when he was attending his brother at his house in Chozas de Canales

Rosa, a nurse with more than two decades of service, is an institution in Chozas de Canales, a Toledo town of about 4,000 inhabitants. But this Monday she has lived, surely, one of her worst professional experiences. She has been the victim of an assault in a home when she was attending a patient around one in the afternoon. For this reason, she had to be transferred in an ambulance to the University Hospital of Toledo.

It happened at number 72 Calle Sevilla, a ten-minute walk from the doctor's office, located at number 4 Calle Austria. Rosa "was treating the patient, a brother came from the street with a knife and attacked her," according to what the mayor, Antonio Antúnez, told 'ABC'.

The mayor has been told by the home help worker who accompanied this nurse from the doctor's office, although she has not been attacked. This employee, "with a nervous breakdown because of what she has lived through" according to the mayor, has told her that the aggressor, a Moroccan national, had cut Rosa on her face, at eye level. The nurse, who is considered a public authority, "had already had to go more times to attend to this patient because she is in bed," added the mayor.

“I think it is the first time that something like this has happened to the staff of the medical office,” said the mayor, who does not know if the attacker has been arrested.

The attack on the nurse from Chozas de Canales occurs nine days after another in Santa Olalla, 50 kilometers away. On that occasion, a doctor and a nurse were attacked by the patient they were treating at his home.
