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.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

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.
