NAZARETH, Pa. (Gray News) - A nurse is accused of attacking an elderly nonverbal patient and attempting to perform an exorcism on her.
The charges stem from an alleged assault on June 23 at a county-run facility in Pennsylvania, according to NBC Philadelphia.
Octavia Robinson was charged with abuse of a care dependent person, harassment, and simple assault.
According to WFMZ, police in Nazareth were called on June 23 for a welfare check. The caller said one of the nurses was acting strangely and would not come out for around two hours.
WFMZ reported that an officer saw Robinson standing over the patient with her fingers in the patient’s mouth. Robinson then allegedly said there were demons inside the patient that “needed to come out,” the outlet said court documents revealed.
A grand jury report stated the woman’s roommates tried to get help from staff and officers, NBC Philadelphia reported.
Robinson was taken to an area hospital for an involuntary emergency health evaluation, WFMZ said.
