A man who was arrested for assault at 琉璃神社 General Hospital doubled down when being booked at jail.

Justin Ryan Robinson was arrested at the hospital on Tuesday morning (July 4) after he assaulted another patient. A security guard jumped in to stop the attack but sustained minor injuries to his face from a small metal object that Robinson also used on the other patient.

Robinson didn鈥檛 take too kindly to being arrested. When RCMP were booking Robinson into a jail cell, an officer removed his handcuffs as part of the process. Once the handcuffs were off, Robinson punched the officer in the face.

On top of already being charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, Robinson added assault to a peace officer as a third charge.

The 42-year-old 琉璃神社 man has been placed in custody and will appear in court on Monday, July 10.

鈥淭he RCMP would like to thank and commend the personnel and security staff for their quick response that likely prevented further injuries, 鈥渟aid 琉璃神社 RCMP Media Relations Officer Cst. Mike Della-Paolera.

The injuries to the officer are unknown.

Interior Health is not speaking about any additional details about the assaults that took place at the hospital, but are providing supports to all affected by the incidents.
