"A man who was already serving a life prison term for throwing a six-year-old off the Tate Modern has been sentenced for assaulting two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital. Jonty Bravery, 24, kicked one of the women in the thigh and "clawed" at the face of a second, leaving her with blood dripping down her cheek."
"He was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates' Court to 16 weeks in jail after being found guilty in his absence last November. The sentence will run concurrently with his existing 15-year minimum term. Passing sentence, Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring, who had found Bravery guilty of two counts of assault, said those who care for Bravery were the targets of his assaults."
"Jessica Hart, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "This was a violent and distressing incident for the nurses who were simply doing their jobs. No one should ever face this kind of aggression while providing care." In 2020, Bravery was handed a 14-week jail sentence after he admitted attacking two other Broadmoor staff."
Jonty Bravery, 24, assaulted two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital, kicking one in the thigh and clawing at another's face, causing blood to drip down her cheek. He is serving a life sentence for hurling a French six-year-old from the Tate Modern's 10th-storey balcony in 2019 and is held at the high-security Broadmoor hospital in Crowthorne, Berkshire. Westminster Magistrates' Court sentenced him to 16 weeks in jail after a guilty verdict in his absence, to run concurrently with his existing 15-year minimum term. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring said caregivers were the targets of his assaults. The defendant refused to appear via video link. The Crown Prosecution Service described the attacks as violent and distressing for staff, and Bravery previously received a 14-week sentence in 2020 for attacking other Broadmoor employees.
