A man has been jailed after he assaulted hospital staff in Derby at the start of the first lockdown.

On Wednesday 8th April 2020, Cory Harris, 35, had been admitted to the accident and emergency department at Royal Derby Hospital. 

He stated he had been assaulted and also that he had displayed symptoms of Coronavirus.

Once Harris was told he would be discharged and that he would need to leave the hospital, he became abusive. 

He removed his mask, threatened a nurse and began to run around the hospital.

Hospital Security staff were asked to assist, and Harris then coughed, spat, bit and punched them. 

Derbyshire Police were then called to assist.

Harris, of no fixed address, was arrested and later charged with affray and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker and remanded into custody.

During his trial at Derby Crown Court, Harris also admitted to previous unrelated incidents of assault and possession of a knife in Derby and assaulting an emergency worker at HMP Lincoln.

On Wednesday 3rd February, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a total of three years imprisonment.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
