BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- A South Florida nurse has been jailed after allegedly punching an elderly patient in the face.
Forty-three-year-old Richard Paul Anderson was arrested on a charge of abuse of an elderly person.
Police say another nurse saw him punching an 85-year-old man in the face several times; the victim needed nine stitches. Police say Anderson won't explain what happened but that he previously told another hospital employee that he hit the patient in self-defense.
Hospital officials declined to comment.
