Patient Accused Of Assaulting Greenwich Hospital Employee: Police

GREENWICH, CT — A 39-year-old man was arrested earlier this week after police say he assaulted an employee at Greenwich Hospital.

Victor Gonzalez, 39, of Brooklyn, N.Y., was charged with second-degree assault, threatening and first-degree unlawful restraint.

On March 2 at 7 p.m., police responded to Greenwich Hospital on a report of an assault. Police said Gonzalez was identified as a patient at the facility.

"The accused was observed on camera entering the secured nursing station where he knocked a hospital employee onto the ground and held her there while striking her with closed fist," police wrote in an arrest report. "According to the victim, the accused also threatened her with bodily harm while he was on top of her."

An arrest warrant for Gonzalez was granted on March 3 with a court-set bond of $150,000. Gonzalez was released from the hospital and subsequently arrested, police said.

Gonzalez is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on March 17.
