The woman became agitated and reportedly began punching the nurse in the face and pulling her hair while threatening to kill her.

On Tuesday, police said the nurse was attacked again by the same woman while she was tending to another patient.

Investigators said the nurse was punched in the face several times and kicked repeatedly.

The facility discharged a 30-year-old woman from Fergus on Wednesday, and she was arrested and charged.

She was held for a bail hearing on Thursday.
