Man Attacked Midwife in Hospital in Stara Zagora

The man, along with his wife, 2-year-old child and a video operator, entered the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital for the discharge of their baby. It was in the neonatal ward because it was born prematurely. However, they were not given access because outsiders are not allowed in the ward. This annoyed the man who was of Roma origin and made him aggressive and dangerous.

A senior midwife in the clinic, Violeta Dimitrova, witnessed the incident and gave a statement:

He had a young child in his one hand, about 2 years old. With the other hand, he grabbed my colleague from the reception room, the midwife Maya Gocheva. He began tugging on her arm violently. His face had a terrible grimace, on his side, his wife was screaming and shouting as well.

The hospital staff tried to calm down the intoxicated man, and attempted to lock the lobby door leading to the ward. This angered the man even more.

Violeta Dimitrova: He punched through the glass door, there were shards of glass flying directly at me. I managed to dodge them without being hurt. You would never imagine, however, the words he said to me. He directed unspeakable threats and insults at me.

Police was called, and they detained the 28-year old man. At the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology a petition was issued, which insisted that the management from the University Hospital in Stara Zagora should take measures to protect the clinic.

Dr. Zhivko Zhelyazov, Deputy Director at University Hospital said they will consider installing panic buttons for the hospital staff which will directly contact the police at any moment.

The attacker will be charged with acts of hooliganism.
