Jonty Bravery, 24, has been found guilty of assaulting two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital, where he is currently detained. The incident occurred in September 2024, and Bravery was convicted of kicking nurse Kate Mastalerz and clawing at the face of nurse Linda McKinlay, leaving her with visible injuries. Bravery, who is serving a life sentence for throwing a six-year-old boy from the Tate Modern balcony in 2019, did not attend his trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. Prosecutor Tom Heslop detailed the circumstances leading to the assaults, stating that Bravery was under constant supervision due to his history of self-harm attempts. On the night of the incident, after asking to use the toilet, Bravery attempted to climb a ledge, prompting the nurses to intervene. "He kicked out towards Ms Mastalerz, hitting her in the thigh," Heslop explained. He also "clawed across" Ms McKinlay’s face, resulting in blood dripping down her cheek. Body-worn camera footage presented in court showed the struggle between Bravery and the nurses before additional staff arrived to assist. Ms McKinlay, who has worked at Broadmoor for many years, described the attack as unprecedented in her career. "He was screaming and shouting and kicking. We shouted for assistance," she recounted. After the assault, she was taken to hospital for treatment of her injuries. Ms Mastalerz also expressed the stress of the situation, stating, "I started shouting for help when he began kicking and scratching." Her thigh was bruised as a result of the attack. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring found Bravery guilty of both charges and has scheduled sentencing for January 8, 2025, pending an update on his mental health condition. This is not the first time Bravery has faced legal consequences for his behaviour at Broadmoor; he was previously jailed for 14 weeks in 2020 for assaulting staff members. Bravery's violent history raises concerns about the safety of staff in high-security psychiatric facilities, as they navigate the challenges of caring for patients with complex needs.
